I'd like to make plots that do not have the quadratic layout, like having a plot that is twice as wide as it is high (without distorting everything). Sadly i wasn't able to find anything in par that does that. Best would be with plot(), but i'd use the ggplot package as well if necessary. thanks, Jessica
Non-quadratic plots

Nevermind, found i can at least do it with pdf() and consorts, so i'll get it right in my images, and thats the main point.

When posting it is requested that you include your OS and R version. In graphics output questions it is common that OS info might be relevant. I'm reading here from the help pages on a Mac in R version 2.15.2. The height and width arguments control the setup of the quartz() device (and I suspect for the corresponding windows device. Other output devices also have height and width parameters as you note. In base graphics there is an 'asp' (aspect ratio) argument for the interactive graphics window. In Lattice there are layout.height and layout.width that are arguments to `lattice.options`.
