[R] screen resolution effects on graphics

[Charles Annis, P.E.]

My apologies for my oversight.  I am using WindowsXP.  The code that
produces a nice-looking jpg (when viewed on my screen) produces cramped
graphics on a 800 X 600 screen.  I can change the spacings on the plot and
remedy the situation for 800 X 600, but that looks awkward at 1280 X 1024.

Thanks

Charles Annis, P.E.

You forgot to mention your OS. This was asked before and if I recall
correctly the answer for Windows was no. An acceptable solution (imho)
is to edit the Rprofile.site files and add something like
  pngplotwidth <- 990 ; pngplotheight <- 700
  pdfplotwidth <- 14 ; pdfplotheight <- 10
Then, use these values in your functions. It's manual, but you only
need to do this once for each machine.
