[Rd] Another inconsistency concerning device-size vs. window-size

[Jens Oehlschlägel]

Here is an inconsitency. I guess one of the two is a bug (the latter one).

[1] 5.000000 4.989583
# now resize window to be narrower
> par("din")
[1] 5.000000 4.989583
> # din unchanged
> dev.off()
null device
          1

[1] 5.000000 4.989583
# now resize window to be narrower
> par("din")
[1] 2.781250 4.989583
> # din changed  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
> dev.off()
null device
          1

What is din?
Representation layer (device size)?
Presentation layer (window size)?

To my understanding it should be representation layer,
and I really hope a window IS NOT directly a device!
