[Rd] header containing 8713 (PR#8729)
concerning the symbols manpage: it probably should actually say "If 'inches' is 'FALSE', the units for the width and height of the symbols are taken to be those of the x axis and y axis, respectively..." at least for 'boxplots' symbols this is empirically the actual behaviour. if other symbols (e.g. circles) actually _are_ using x axis units, the difference between 'isotropic' and 'anisotropic' symobls should be made clear. the current text gave me the false impression that I needed to set asp=1 in order to get correct heights for the boxplots symbols. joerg
