It would be helpful if you created a 2 or 3 line example illustrating 
your problem.  The link you posted is very long, and it is probably 
discouraging people from even looking at it.  I know it discouraged me.

I don't believe it's possible.  You can have no space, or a full space.

There are two independent sets of measurements when you are including R 
graphics in LaTeX.  There is the set that R knows about:  it determines 
how big the fonts are relative to the plot region, how big points are, 
etc.  Then there is the size within LaTeX.  There doesn't need to be any 
connection between them.

What I normally do is plot slightly larger than I intend to display the 
graphic, then use "\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{graphic}" to 
include it.  I find that this makes the fonts slightly smaller, and they 
seem to be more consistent with the style of a paper.
