But it is not too difficult to do this yourself: in2cm <- function(x) return(x * 2.54) cm2in <- function(x) return(x * 0.3937008) then use in2cm() or cm2in() depending on what you want to achieve. If you want a margin of 4cm all round the plot: op <- par(mai = cm2in(rep(4, 4))) plot(1:10) par(op) HTH G > > Maybe Humanity must lose a few more people in airplane crashes > or nuclear plant meltdowns before we ban those unscientific units > from use. > > Alberto Monteiro > > ______________________________________________ > R-help@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. -- %~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~% Dr. Gavin Simpson [t] +44 (0)20 7679 0522 ECRC, UCL Geography, [f] +44 (0)20 7679 0565 Pearson Building, [e] gavin.simpsonATNOSPAMucl.ac.uk Gower Street, London [w] http://www.ucl.ac.uk/~ucfagls/ UK.
