I don't think so (why mm, not cm or m or km?), but grid allows you to specify the units for most measurements, so one day you may be able to do that in whatever passes for par() by then.

You do realise that is specific to the windows() device? The
getGraphicsEvent() help does not say what happens on the windows() device
if 'rescale != "R"', when the 'window' is not simply related to the device
surface -- so I'll ignore that.

Read ?par and the descriptiuon in 'An Introduction to R'. "din", "fin",
"mai", "omi", "pin" and "usr" are relevant.
You have only one figure, no outer margins and linear scales. For your
example on Linux (after resizing) I got
> par("din")
[1] 9.162549 6.407743
> par("mai")
[1] 1.0407480 0.8366798 0.8366798 0.4285433
> par("pin")
[1] 7.897326 4.530315
which tells me the plot region has corners (0.8366798, 1.0407480) and
(9.162549-0.8366798, 6.407743-0.4285433)
and
> par("usr")
[1] 0.64 10.36 12.80 207.20
tells me the user coordinates of those corners. That suffices to do the
mapping.

[R] window (x,y) co-ordinates of datapoints
Hi, In the getGraphicsEvent function the (x,y) co-ordinates returned from the mouse move are in relation to where the mouse is located within the device window (i.e. the lower left corner of the window is '(0,0)', the upper right is '(1,1)'). Is there a way of returning the (x,y) co-ordinates of data points plotted where instead of x and y being the actual data points they are the coordinates of the device window. e.g. below is a simple plot of x,y data x <- 1:10 y <- x*20 plot(x,y) > x[4] 4 > y[4] 80 what I actually want to know is where (x[4],y[4]) is within the device window. Does any-one have any ideas?
