It means what it says : The figure margins are too large
and there's no room for the plot at all.
It must be that you have
- large fonts {large par("cex"), or large "rastersize"
with postscript ...)
and/or
- large par("mar")
and/or
- too small device.
I can reproduce the error message with
postscript(file="/dev/null", height= 1)
plot(1)
More "fun" is to
x11()
plot(1)
and resize the device window {repeatedly calling plot(1)}
until the plot outline isn't drawn any more.
At the point you get (appropriately) the above error message.
