R help - Sep 2009 - Plot area reduction

Hi,

I need my plot to occupy a thin strip-like area but the plot area in R is a
square so when I save it and reduce its height to a strip in my document the
font in the graph looks flattened. Is there someway i can do this in R
itself?..so that my plot is a strip but the font looks normal

Hi Rajesh,
Just start the device with the aspect you want:

x11(height=2)

OR

png(myplot.png",height=150)

Jim

you can use the 'mar' parameter of 'par' to setup the margins of
the
graph and then use the height/width option when opening the graphic
device to control the plotting area.
