Peter, thanks for the answer!
Indeed, it does work if I set par(mar=c(0,0,0,0)) but not when it is set to the
default values mar=c(5.1, 4.1, 4.1, 2.1).
The par settings returned in the example are the defaults, so no extraordinary
big mar settings or char size (see below).
Also, it does not matter what size the drawing area is set to (e.g. 1000x
1000). The error always occurs.
Any idea?
examples:
> win = gtkWindow()
> da = gtkDrawingArea()
> win$add(da)
> asCairoDevice(da)
[1] TRUE
> par(c("mar", "cra", "oma"))
$mar
[1] 5.1 4.1 4.1 2.1
$cra
[1] 7 11
$oma
[1] 0 0 0 0
> plot(1:10)
Fehler in plot.new() : Grafikränder zu groß ###ERROR###
Thanks
Mark
