Hmm. It is graphics devices that have dimensions, and plots that overwrite other plots on a device, so your intentions are pretty unclear. (If you resize a device window the plot dimensions change so they are not intrinsic to the plot.) If you want the default behaviour to be like normal but with, say, a wider onscreen device window you can have (on Windows, which you didn't say) mywindows <- function(...) windows(width=10, height=6, ...) options(device="mywindows") in your ~/.Rprofile . Otherwise, please try again to tell us what you do want. > > I only know how to do this using windows(width=,height=...) which opens up > a new plotting device every time, so I end up with lots of graphs all over > the place until I get the one I want! > > Thanks in advance, > > Simon > > > Simon Pickett > PhD student > Centre For Ecology and Conservation > Tremough Campus > University of Exeter in Cornwall > TR109EZ > Tel 01326371852 > > http://www.uec.ac.uk/biology/research/phd-students/simon_pickett.shtml > > ______________________________________________ > R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch 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. > -- Brian D.
