The length and width aren't the first and second parameters for any

"dev.new(height = 10, width = 10) " doesn't work neither. It produces a
device with a size of [ 5.760417, 5.75]. My computer is a usual 14

You ask questions in a very rude way. I'm going to let you figure this
one out by yourself.

The length and width aren't the first and second parameters for any
device, and length isn't a parameter at all. Try
dev.new(height = 10, width = 10)
and you should get a bigger device if it will fit on your screen. If it
won't fit, then you might get a smaller one, and you'll need to choose a
non-screen device such as png() or pdf() instead of the default device.

Re: [R] why the length and width of a plot region produced by the dev.new() function cannot be correctly set?
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
the likelihood anyone will actually read your email.

Hello,
Is this cross posted from StackOverflow?
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50127476/it-there-a-up-limit-for-the-size-of-the-plot-region-produced-by-the-dev-new-func
Cross posting is discouraged by r-help. See the posting guide regarding
this.
The question is not exactly the same, though.
Hope this helps,

but it is always smaller that the values I set.What do I miss? What is the

The size of the device is not the size of the plot region. You need to take
into account the margins. See ?par
Thank you, David.
I have read the par() document. Clearly the size of the plot region is smaller than or
equal to the divice size. However, if I produce a graphic device with dev.new (length,
width) or other functions, I find the largest width of the new device is always 5.3
inches whatever the values I set, and the length of it is alway smaller than what I set.
Could you tell me how to produce a graphic divice with correct size that I set? I need
this function because the graphic divice cannot accomendate all of the graph I make with
some of plot tools such as ggtree. In ggtree plot, part of the tree tips label are
invisible (https://www.dropbox.com/s/87gyusx7ay1xxu8/tree.pdf?dl=0) even I set
"par(mar=rep(0,4))". So I think I must plot the tree on a larger graphic device.
- The argument to give dev.new is 'height', not 'length'.
- There are two margins, an inner margin (controlled by `mar`) and an outer
margin (controlled by `oma`).
- The link to the dropbox image does demonstrate that you are having problems
with your ggplot efforts, but it wasn't a link to any test data or the code
used to produce that tree, so I'm not in a position to do any testing to offer
refinements. From the red/bold highlighting in the HTML copy I got directly
(that none of the other viewers are seeing) I can see you are frustrated, but
you need to take responsibility for writing a message that is being mangled. We
readers of the this plain-text-only mailing list were seeing it.
- Please read the Posting Guide about the need to information about your
specific computer setup and the value of a reproducible example. I suggest you
should be learning to use the png or pdf devices. Read ?Devices and ?png. (The
default units are not inches.).

[2.281250, 5.322917], as detected by the de.size function. If I
type:dev.new(length=10,width=10)I get a plot region of 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,
The size of the device is not the size of the plot region. You need to take
into account the margins. See ?par
Thank you, David.I have read the par() document. Clearly the size of the plot
region is smaller than or equal to the divice size. However, if I produce a
graphic device with dev.new (length, width) or other functions, I find the
largest width of the new device is always 5.3 inches whatever the values I
set, and the length of it is alway smaller than what I set.
The length and width aren't the first and second parameters for any
device, and length isn't a parameter at all. Try
dev.new(height = 10, width = 10)
and you should get a bigger device if it will fit on your screen. If it
won't fit, then you might get a smaller one, and you'll need to choose a
non-screen device such as png() or pdf() instead of the default device.

Could you tell me how to produce a graphic divice with correct size
that I set? I need this function because the graphic divice cannot
accomendate all of the graph I make with some of plot tools such as
ggtree. In ggtree plot, part of the tree tips label are invisible
(https://www.dropbox.com/s/87gyusx7ay1xxu8/tree.pdf?dl=0) even I set
"par(mar=rep(0,4))". So I think I must plot the tree on a larger graphic
device. Best regards.
