R help - Nov 2010 - how to get rid of unused space on all 4 borders in plot() render

x= c(1,5,7,-3,4)
y= c(2,4,-5,2,5)
plot(x,y,ylim=c(-20,20),xlim=c(min(x),max(x)),pch='X',col = rgb(0, 0, 0,
0.5),yaxt="n", ann=FALSE)

and this code produces:

Where I marked in red areas that I want to get rid of and use as much real
screen estate as I can.

Rather than filling up r-help with incremental beginner questions you  
need to either:

--- read more introductory material such as found here:
http://cran.r-project.org/other-docs.html

--- or read more of the help documents. In this case ?par

Alternatively give ggplot2 package a try:

 x= c(1,5,7,-3,4)
 y= c(2,4,-5,2,5)
 xx <- data.frame(x,y)
 library(ggplot2)
 qplot(x,y, data=xx)

I have looked into par documentation, and only setting for size of the plot
area was pin. But this setting sets the area as inflexible, that is no
matter how I make the window small or big it stays the same. Default value
has advantage that however it uses plot area that is always smaller than
device area still this area is changing with the window and able to be
bigger.
