Dear IstaThanks a lot for your help! However, when I spedify the right size I wish (the same as specified in par() ) I get an error:pdf("try.pdf", height=0.5, width=0.3) par(pin=c(0.5, 0.3),mai=rep(0.1,4), omi=rep(0.01,4), mar=c(5,4,4,2))
Given the size of the margins (determined by fonts and line width defaults) the smallest (but still useless) pdf I can create is:
> pdf("try.pdf", height=2.2, width=1.4)

You should rethink your strategy and articulate your goals and
constraints a bit better. I remember a discussion in rhelp of setting
sizes for graphical files within the last week where the consensus of
knowledgeable useRs was to make a bigger file and then resize it.

plot(runif(100)) dev.off()I don't see why my marings now would have become too small ... any idea?Thanks!! Le 23. 02. 11 14:22, Ista Zahn a écrit :It should be specified in pdf() as you did. If you try pdf("try.pdf", height=2, width=2) par(pin=c(0.5, 0.3),mai=rep(0.1,4), omi=rep(0.01,4), mar=c(5,4,4,2)) plot(runif(100)) dev.off() I think the problem will become apparent. best, Ista On Wed, Feb 23, 2011 at 12:39 PM, Matthieu Stigler <[email protected]> wrote:Dear R ListCould I ask again my question about where the size of a plot should be specified (in par or pdf?).

I am having surprisingly a difficult time to do it... Since I will export it, I use also pdf(). The plot works fine, but once I specify the size in pdf() I getproblems... see: Say I specify my plot as following:par(pin=c(0.5, 0.3),mai=rep(0.1,4), omi=rep(0.01,4), mar=c(5,4,4,2))plot(runif(100)) If I now add pdf()par(pin=c(0.5, 0.3),mai=rep(0.1,4), omi=rep(0.01,4), mar=c(5,4,4,2))plot(runif(100)) dev.off() The resulting pdf has not the size specified!
