R help - Jun 2008 - x labels out of Quartz canvas

Hi R world, 

I am such a newbie, with only 4-5 days of R experience. I did a search in
forum history but couldn't find a solution to my problem... Sorry if
it's
obvious:

I managed to draw a barplot (yey!) with xlabels of 'long' names
(filenames,
to be particular). To make them readable, I place them perpendicular to the
axis (las=2). When I do that, however, these names don't fit inside the
Quartz window and they are truncated. 

Is there a way to change the Quartz window size after plotting (or, as an
alternative, to scale the plot down so it fits in there) ?

Thanks a lot!

-Memo

PS: This is the very first of my zillion of questions!

You do this by adjusting the margin sizes.  Can I suggest you read 'An 
Introduction to R', which has a section on the layout of graphics (perhaps 
the only area in which it is comprehensive).
