[R] help: how to change the size of a window after it has been created
Hello, I wish to plot some figures in a window in turn, but the size of these figures is different, so how can I change the size of the window by resetting the parameters before each plotting?

Not sure you can do this. You might have to launch separate graphics windows. -roger wu sz wrote: Hello, I wish to plot some figures in a window in turn, but the size of these figures is different, so how can I change the size of the window by resetting the parameters before each plotting?

Thank you, Shengzhe Other than dragging a plot window with a mouse, I do not think that there is a way to change the size of an open display device via code (though somebody will no doubt correct me if I am wrong). See ?Devices Depending upon your OS, there is likely a 'width' and 'height' argument for the screen display device for newly opened devices. For example, under systems using X, where X11() is the screen device: X11(width = 11, height = 8) plot(1:10) X11(width = 5, height = 5) barplot(1:5) In the above example, two separate plot windows will be created. If you want to only have one open at a time, you can close the device first using dev.off() before the subsequent plots. However, you lose the current plot as soon as you close it. X11(width = 11, height = 8) plot(1:10) dev.off() X11(width = 5, height = 5) barplot(1:5) dev.off() HTH, Marc Schwartz __ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html

Thank you, Shengzhe Other than dragging a plot window with a mouse, I do not think that there is a way to change the size of an open display device via code (though somebody will no doubt correct me if I am wrong). Perhaps some lateral thinking is called for. Rather than change the size of the window, how about changing the size of the plotting region within the window. For example: split.screen(matrix(c(0,0.5, 0,1, 0.5,1,0,1), ncol=4, byrow=T)) plot(1:5) close.screen(all=T) split.screen(matrix(c(0,0.5, 0,0.5, 0.5,1,0.5,1), ncol=4, byrow=T)) plot(1:5) close.screen(all=T) Bob -- Bob O'Hara Dept. of Mathematics and Statistics P.O.
