There are a couple of ways to do this. You can open a plotting window before using barplot2. If you are running R on Windows, help(windows) for how to change the plotting window dimensions (or help(quartz) for Mac, help(X11) for linux).
The second method is to change the margins in the current plotting window with the par(mar= or mai=) command (help(par). ---------------------------------------------- David L Carlson Associate Professor of Anthropology Texas A&M University College Station, TX 77843-4352 -----Original Message----- From: r-help-boun...@r-project.org [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On Behalf Of Adrienne Keller Sent: Thursday, June 23, 2011 4:11 PM To: r-help@r-project.org Subject: [R] change plot area in barplot2 I would like to change the plot area for a figure I made with barplot2 so that it is rectangular (for example, 5 x 3 inches) rather than square, which is the default.
