Plots: I've deleted axes, now to delete space
I just saw this post: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/X11-plot-window-sizes-td900509.html where is explains that the window size cannot be larger than 85% of your screen. I'm not sure what you are referring to about the copying the whole region, not just the plot. Also, I remember using the width and height, but I am not sure how I used it and am having trouble duplicating it. I cannot put it within the par command. I think it was prior to the par command, but I'm not sure. I need to remember to save a copy of useful commands in a file. -----Original Message----- From: gunter.berton at gene.com [mailto:gunter.berton at gene.com] Sent: Monday, May 16, 2011 10:28 AM To: Thompson, Adele - Adele_Thompson at cargill.com Cc: r-help at r-project.org Subject: Re: [R] Plots: I've deleted axes, now to delete space Presumably you have read the help file and tried specifying width and/or height, right? Also, note the comment about copying the whole region, not just the plot. Does any of this help? -- Bert

I am outputting the plot to a pdf file using the code: dev.copy2pdf(file="testing.pdf") The plots are too small though unless I first manually increase the size in R and then use the dev.copy command. Is there a way to automatically increase the window size? I tried fin and din, but those do not seem to work or they only increase the size to a certain degree, even though I can manually increase it to fill my screen. Schatzi wrote:
Thanks all for the replies. I am getting better slowly but surely. I
imagine that I will get better at figuring out things as well so I don't
have to post as many questions. I do lots of searches, but still cannot
figure out how to do everything that I need.
The new code is as such:
par(mfrow=c(4,7), mar=c(2, 2, 2, 1.5), oma=c(1, 1, 4, 0))
for (i in 1:28) {
a<-seq(1,3,1)
plot(a,a, ann=FALSE, main= "plot of a vs a")
}
mtext("Plot of a vs a",side=3,outer=TRUE)

Easy fix. Under ?par, I don't see where I can enter an overall title. Should I add a text command or something?
mtext() writes text in the margins; argument "outer" puts it in the outer margins. Duncan Murdoch
