How do I change the dimensions and proportions of my graphics device?  

I've used the fin parameter to change the shape of the figure region, but
the files are still square.

I'm using the windows version R 0.90.0.

Thanks,

Matt

Which device? The on-screen one, or a printer one or ...?

Open a device with a given width and height, e.g.

windows(width=8, height=6)

However, I don't see what that has to do with files: if you are copying to
a file that should respect the dimensions given,

Under most circumstances you can just resize the graphics window if you
want another shape.
