Dear Ista
Thanks 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)
> par(pin=c(0.5, 0.3),mai=rep(0.1,4), omi=rep(0.01,4), mar=c(5,4,4,2))

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!!

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.

Dear R List
Could I ask again my question about where the size of a plot
should be
specified (in par or pdf?). I still did not figure out, and any
help would
be much appreciated!!
Thanks a lot!

Hi
I want to have a rectangular plot of size 0.5*0.3 inches. 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 get
problems... 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!
If I specifz this size in pdf(), I get an error...
pdf("try.pdf", height=0.3, width=0.5)
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))
Error in plot.new() : figure margins too large
So obviously pdf() is modifying some other par() parameter I
could not
figure out... Any idea?
Thanks!!
Matthieu
