But:

> dev.new(height=10,width=10)
> dev.size('in')
[1] 10 10

Whereas

> dev.new(length=10,width=10)
> dev.size('in')
[1] 10  7

Obviously, because height was not specified, some default calculation was used 
to set the height. And length was ignored.

And thanks to Duncan Murdoch for pointing out that the correct arguments are 
height and width, not length and width.

And, yes, please send plain text email to R-help. Sending HTML email reduces

with the size of [7.614583, 5.322917]. It seems that the width of the new plot 
region cannot be set, and tt is always 5.322917. The length of the new plot 
region can be set, but it is always smaller that the values I set.What do I 
miss? What is the correct way of setting the dimension of the new plot region? 
I will be grateful to any help.Best regards,
