R has cin, which gives this in inches, and pin and usr will enable
you to convert these to user coordinates (I think those are the
right ones).

You can usually make use of csi, for example yinch(par("csi")) is a
reasonable replacement for par("cxy")[2], and by use of cra you
can rescale to the width.
