sorry to impose again.
At the default point size, R seems very good in selecting nice xlim/ylim parameters, and leaving a little bit of space at the edges of its xlim/ylim. alas, I now need to create ps graphics that can only occupy a quarter of a page, so I need to blow up the text for readability. Easy, I thought: make ps.options(pointsize=24). Alas, this turns out to be trickier than I thought.
In plot, autogenerated xlim and ylim should now probably be scaled a little, though more importantly, there needs to be more space at the edge (e.g., if ylim=c(1,2), R seems to really draw axes from about 0.9 to 1.1). if I do not increase this space, my axis label names overflow, as do some text() annotations that are inside xlim/ylim, but have pos=1. (e.g., text(1,1,"something", pos=1) in the example; at standard point size, this fits nicely; just no longer.)
how to create smaller figures than full page is probably not an infrequent need. has anyone written a "smallpostscript-figures" package, which sets this and perhaps other parameters?
if not, how do I tell R that
* the usual space it leaves at the xlim/ylim needs to be bigger now?
* that I would like it to be more generous/less generous in its autogeneration of good ylim/xlim default coordinates
help appreciated.
