problem with PDF/postcript, cannot change paper size: "‘mode(width)’ and ‘mode(height)’ differ between new and previous"
Update - sorry for the stupid question, let's say it's pretty late. For those who may be as tired as I am and get the same warning, the paper size should be given as an integer!

Hi,
The pdf function would not let me change the paper size and gives me
the following warning:
pdf("figure.pdf", width="6", height="10")
Warning message:
?mode(width)? and ?mode(height)? differ between new and previous
? ? ? ? ==> NOT changing ?width? & ?height?
If I use the option ? paper = "a4r", ? it does not give me a warning
but still prints on a square region (it does not use the entire page).
Two days ago I updated R and associated packages. I'm not sure if this
could be the cause? Even if I restart a new session I keep getting the
same error. ?I also tried X11.options(reset=TRUE) and it does not
help.
Thanks for any hint you could give me, this is really annoying (the
function postscript gives the same error so I cannot make any
figure!).
all the best,
Emmanuel
