Hi.
I am trying to plot a big graph, simple from plot(), but I want it large 
size. Now par(din=..) is a read only parameter set at 4.5 by 4.5 
inches. If I want a bigger plot, say 6 by 9 inches in landscape mode,
Do I have to recompile R changing this parameter or is there a way 
to reformat the plot so it will print at the size I want.?
I am using R 1.2.2 in win98, well now it is the latest from BDR R 1.23
As always thanks for the help.

I think you need to open a graphics device before plot for example:

        data(faithful)
        win.graph(width = 9, height = 6)
        plot(faithful$eruptions, faithful$waiting)

You could use x11() instead of win.graph().
