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.
