You can set the quartz() argument 'dpi'. I'm not sure why this is being
detected wrongly, but it looks as if it is.

Hi,
The new graphics window defaults in R 2.7.0 are great but I've
noticed a strange phenomenon when I'm using R with my MacBook Pro
connected to a videoprojector. Under these conditions,
the quartz window that is opened is tiny,
about 1/5 the default size and the line colors are a light
grey (or a light color, at least. Not 100% sure that it is grey).
This could be the effect of antialiasing on narrow lines.
As soon as I detach the videoprojector and reset the
display size, everything returns to normal.
The minimal example would be to hook up your portable to
a videoprojector, start R and run
quartz()
Does anyone else see this?
I can get the normal default with
quartz(width = 30, height = 30)
but the text and points are very small. I can get around this
with cex and col arguments but this is not optimal. Not great
for teaching.
Thank you for any suggestions. SessionInfo below.
