  Dear Selim,

 it is usually good idea to read all the documentation available,
and try to use information contained there,  before posting the question
to mailing lists. :-)

 The answer to your question is on ROOT HOWTO page 
"How to use the PostScript interface", where is written:


...The size of the Postcript picture, by default, is computed to keep the
aspect ratio of the picture on the screen,.....

 So if you resize your canvas on the screen, you will get the _portrait_
postscript.

          Cheers,
			Pavol
