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.

Re: [R] why the length and width of a plot region produced by the dev.new() function cannot be correctly set?

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.
