R-beta: problem with graphics parameter "fin"
Hi, I have the following problem (with R 0.61.3 an Linux, and a new and empty workspace)
oldpar<-par() par(oldpar)
Error: attempt to set invalid value for graphics parameter "fin".
oldpar$fin
[1] 6.992034 6.990803 but now:
oldpar$fin <- c(6.99,6.99) par(oldpar)
it works. It seems, that if I set oldpar$fin to values greater than listed above (6.9920...) it stops to work:
oldpar$fin <- c(7,7) par(oldpar)
Error: attempt to set invalid value for graphics parameter "fin". and again
oldpar$fin <- c(6.992034,6.990803) par(oldpar)
Error: attempt to set invalid value for graphics parameter "fin". What does the par() values depend on? the X Server? It happens both on an 8bit and 24bit XFree display. It occurs also with no active x11() device (postscript() instead). What's the matter? I tried the same on the DEC Alpha (but with R 0.61.1 !!) and it didn't happen. Sorry, but I have no more R 0.61.1 available on Linux, so I could not check it with an earlier version.
