R help - Apr 2011 - Error in "color2D.matplot" : "Error in plot.new() : figure margins too large"

Hi,

I am using color2D.matplot (...) function of "plotrix" package. I used
a matrix of size  around 20*20
However, apparently it failed to visualize the matrix and gave the
following exception, which I don't have any idea about possible source
of this error.

 "Error in plot.new() : figure margins too large"

It would be appreciated if someone points me to the right origin of this error.

best,
/Shahab

Totally guessing but did you make an earlier call to par() to adjust margins?  

Otherwise you may want to supply the matrix here for other people to experiment
with.  See ?dput as probably the best way to do this.

Hi Shahab,
If you could send me the data you used (real or fake, as long as it 
produces the error), I'll try to work out what has happened.

Hi all,
Just to let you know that the error was in the calculation (and the 
error message maybe peculiar to the original poster's system), not 
color2D.matplot. The message sent to the original poster was long and 
not very meaningful to those who didn't get the data and code (i.e. 
everybody except me).
