Um, with commas in between? (One is missing in line 2(

You can't increase pin & fin beyond the size of the plot window and
still get plots to work. I don't think there's a way to change the
window size using R commands. You can, however, resize the window
manually, or use the width and height arguments when opening the
driver.
