Thanks to Steve Buyske and Patrick Connolly for their prompt responses.
Both suggested I put the par command *after* the postscript command
(duh!). Patrick further suggested that I increase the values in mai.
I had to increase values for both the left and bottom margins. Worked
perfectly after that. Below is my new, improved and working code.
postscript("mean.ps", width=8, height=5.5, horizontal=T)
par(mai=c(1.1,1.1,0.574,0.294))
plot(x.range, y.range, xlab="Time in Weeks", ylab="Mean", type="n",
cex=1.4)
points(tyme, mean.data, cex=1.7)
lines(0:max(tyme), ms.mean)
dev.off()
Thanks again,
Nicole
