Hi, I have the following R-code: pdf(file="test.pdf") hist(rcauchy(100)) dev.off() How can I set the size of the histogram in my pdf? I tried to do with par(...) but I didn't find the right parameter yet.

Set which size? Of the page? - then you need to specify in pdf(). Of the plot margins? - then par$mai Of something else? Then you need to be more specific about your intention.

See ?pdf and its width and height arguments. Also if you want to have the graph centered on a standard page, there are additional arguments to help you achieve that effect:> pdf("test.pdf", height=5, width=5, paper="letter", pagecentre=TRUE) > hist(rcauchy(100)) > dev.off()-Christos> -----Original Message----- > From: r-help-bounces at r-project.org > [mailto:r-help-bounces at r-project.org] On Behalf Of Maxl18 > Sent: Thursday, March 12, 2009 10:05 AM > To: r-help at r-project.org > Subject: [R] set size of a plot > > > Hi, > I have the following R-code: > > pdf(file="test.pdf") > hist(rcauchy(100)) > dev.off() > > How can I set the size of the histogram in my pdf? > I tried to do with par(...) but I didn't find the right parameter yet. > > Thanks, Max > -- > View this message in context: > http://www.nabble.com/set-size-of-a-plot-tp22477083p22477083.html > Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide > http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. > >
