People,
It appears that one has to use Imperial measurements in plot
parameters? I can't find any info on using metric units . .
In package grid you can use several different units.
When I search the R site for "grid" I get:
"Package ‘grid’ was removed from the CRAN repository"
In base graphics there are a very few par()s that use inches (and I am
pretty sure that comes from the US unit as used in S, not the 'Imperial'
one -- see e.g. Wikipedia). But those are rarely used.
This is a bit confusing - as far as I can see, ALL the pars use inches?
I understand the US effect but shouldn't Metric units be supported directly?
Also most graphics devices are dimensioned in inches with resolutions in
dpi.
Function cm() might help you.
Thanks,
Phil.
