Thanks a lot for that and to Phil for replying. Just a minor "correction" to your post. "You have not set a width AND height". Both seem to be required. I had tried only with width thinking height would be calculated relatively but I was still getting the same error. > bg="white", family="ComputerModern", pointsize=10); > > par(mar=c(5, 4, 0, 0) + 0.1); > > plot(x.nor, y.nor, xlim=c(3,6), ylim=c(20,90), pch=normal.mark); > > > > gives error > > Error in plot.new() : figure margins too large > > > > plotting on the screen without calling postscript works just fine . > > > > Any clues?

OK, so what was the pdf() for?...
Notice that this creates subplots which are one inch square. By
default plots are surrounded by 9.2 lines of text vertically (and 6.2
horisontally). Now the distance between lines of text depends on the
pointsize, which is 12pt by default. In subplots, I believe it is
somewhat smaller (8pt?), but 9.2 lines of text still leaves no room for
the actual plot. So, look at help(par) and help(windows) and start
fiddling with pointsize, mar, mgp, and maybe more.

Re: [R] Error in plot.new() : Figure margins too large
Hmm, but what can be the solution? Any idea? Or any documentation on
that which I could read to find a solution by myself?
with the windows statement, I wanted to achive a format which fits for
my plots, so that each plot will have a quadratic area.
I guess, I did not unstand that much of windows / margins and plotting
areas. Maybe someone can help me (even with a good overview on these
basics...)

Generically, that the (per-subplot) figure region is so small that
subtracting margins leaves nowhere to plot. Reasons include: Plotting
area too small, too many subplots, too many lines of text in margins,
too large font size in margins.
