Most of the graphics device functions take args to set their size. You can create your own function and use it instead of the standard one, with different defaults: e.g. mywin <- function() windows(2,2) options(device="mywin") Now I'll get really tiny windows. You can put these lines in your .Rprofile (see ?Startup) if you want them to happen in all sessions.

If I understand you correctly, ?postscript contains all you need to know, eg: postscript(file="foo.eps", paper="special", onefile=FALSE, width=7/2.54, height=7/2.54, pointsize=10, horizontal=FALSE) plot(rnorm(100), rnorm(100), main = "foo") dev.off() Is this what you wanted? > b) how can i (permanent) change the size of the graphic device window? This may well depend on your OS (unstated). I was looking for this the other day as the window is too big on my laptop - I didn't look to hard though so it is no surprise that I did not find a solution.
