Hi, I am wondering if there is any way to fix the size (i.e. height and width) of R's graphic device permanently. Every time I open R, and create my first plot, the default size of the graphic device is fairly small, and I need to adjust it manually to make it of comfortable size. Any help is really appreciated. Thanks for your time.
What is your default graphics device? That is, what OS are you using?

See ?Startup for various ways of automatically executing custom code at R start up. See ?setHook and ?.onLoad for how to run custom code when packages (like grDevices) are loaded. (But Jeff may be able to help you avoid even this if you respond to his queries).

In one of your R startup files you can set options("device") to a
function
that dev.new() will call when a new plot window is requested. E.g.,
options(device=function()windows(width=3,height=4.5,xpos=-200,ypos=100))
graphics.off()
plot(1:10)
