The zoom featur has a bug (at least on OSX) where it generates a plot that doesn't quite fit the window until it is resized. (I see this with v.0.98.1028) The first one is a generic issue with R graphics devices: Fonts don't scale proportionally to graphic elements. (One could, I suppose, consider having a graphics device for which zooming really did magnify proportionally, at least as long as the aspect ratio is constant. I.e., the tile would show a linearly shrunken version of the zoomed plot. Not sure how simple this would be to implement.) -pd > > On Mon, Jan 12, 2015 at 8:22 AM, John Fox <j...@mcmaster.ca> wrote: >> Dear Peter and Jeff, >> >> I've used RStudio in teaching for quite some time now.
