R help - Nov 2004 - gplot.hexbin - how to set figure margin.

Hi,

Would like to use to the hexbin package to plot a 2D hist - because it looks
really _cool_.
My problem  is related to  drawing a pdf hexbin graphic in series of other
graphics.
All other figures have a par(mar=c(3.2,3.2,1,1)). So the gplot.hexbin figure in
this series looks a little alienated?

Was trying a to specify the _mar_ using par, viewport, hexViewport etc. a
little.

My question. How to set the margins in the sample code below. 


x <- rnorm(10000)
y <- rnorm(10000)
bin <- hexbin(x,y)

## Plot : Note that 'gplot.hexbin' is the S4 plot method for hexbin !
## ----              ------------         --------------
plot(bin)


/E

This is really about the development version of a bioconductor
package, so why didn't you contact the package maintainer or authors, as
the posting guide asks you?

This (unreleased) version of hexbin is working with 
"grid" based graphics
       ===> no par() mess.

One reason that it is "development"  *is* the fact that 
currently, you really have to know grid graphics pretty well,
before you can customize hexbin plots.

To learn about grid,
start reading 
Paul (= grid's prinicipal author)'s Keynote speech at the
useR!2004 conference:
   http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/Conferences/useR-2004/Keynotes/
and then
   browseURL(system.file("doc/index.html", package="grid"))
