Hello, I have R1.9.0 under Windows XP. My program plots several plots using x11() par(cex = 0.75) ...... x11() par(cex = 0.75) ...... x11() par(cex = 0.75) ...... x11() par(cex = 0.75) ...... Sometimes, one of them generates a small frame only with title area "R graphics: Device X (ACTIVE)". The message in the console window is Error in plot.new() : Figure margins too large This program ran well under R1.6.X under Windows NT. It seems to me that it is not a specific x11() that generates that small graphics frame. Thank you for you help in advance. Minghua [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
The primary graphics device under Windows is called *windows* not *x11*. Something in your Windows setup is sometimes failing to choose a reasonable window size. I have never seen that, and suspect it is nothing to do with it, but please use windows() and see if the problem vanishes.

The problem is still there if windows() is used.

Please specify some code that results (at least sometimes) in the mentioned error message. I tried for(i in 1:20){ windows() par(cex = 0.75) plot(1:10) } and all plots came out well...

It seems to me that the problem happens to the graphic window that is generated immediately after the R window is minimized.

My code is over 700 lines. That is why I didn't send it. I am sorry I did
not tell you this.
See this code,
for(i in 1:20){
windows()
par(cex = 0.75)
plot(1:10)
}
if the RGui window is minimized immediately (by clicking the
"minimize" button on the upper right corner) after the code is pasted
and run.
> for(i in 1:20){
+ windows()
+ par(cex = 0.75)
+ plot(1:10)
+ }
Error in plot.new() : Figure margins too large>

I am using MDI mode. My operating system is Windows XP.
Thanks.

You have been asked for a reproducible set of conditions -- this is the
first time `minimized' has been mentioned. If you can find a completely
reproducible set of actions please file a bug report (after reading the
FAQ section carefully).
We cannot help you otherwise, and don't want to spend time guessing what
you might have forgotten to tell us. (I see you have not told us if you
use MDI or SDI mode, for example.)
