measurement unit

Adrian,
1 inch = 2.54 cm

So you could try what I do for that

X11(width=10/2.54, height=5/2.54)

Or

cm2in<-function(x) x/2.54
X11(width=cm2in(10), height=cm2in(5))

Dear R-list,

Could anybody tell me where to find information about 
changing the measurement 
unit from inch to centimeters? 
I read the help from X11, I read R-intro and I did some 
searhing in the R 
archives, but I couldn't find the answer.
For example, I would like to produce a plot of a certain 
width and height:

X11(width=10, height=5)
and I would like these to be centimeters, rather than inches.

Thank you,
Adrian

X11(width=10/2.54, height=5/2.54)

cm2in<-function(x) x/2.54
X11(width=cm2in(10), height=cm2in(5))
