R devel - Jan 2007 - Fwd: controlling plot height

hi,

i am trying to create a plot of reduced height. i am able to achieve
this with:

 par(pin=c(par("pin")[1], 1))

however, the plot is surrounded by large margins. is there a way for
me to reduce the margins to match the dimensions of the plot?

thanks.

It sounds as if it is the device region not the plot region which you wish 
to reduce in height.  You do that when opening the device, e.g.

pdf(width=10, height=4)
