[R-SIG-Mac] Miniature plot windows

[Wright, Erik Scott]

I was able to fix the problem by adding to my .Rprofile

setHook(packageEvent("grDevices", "onLoad"),
        function(...) grDevices::quartz.options(dpi=127))

This creates a 7" x 7" plot by default after restarting R. The 127 is the screen's native dpi (254) divided by 2.

I'm not sure where .External(C_Quartz, ...) is getting dpi from when it is NULL (the default), but the value was too small apparently.

Just guessing here, but did you re-install/update XQuartz?  That’s recommended for new hardware and significant jumps in the R version.

Hi all,

I recently upgraded to a new Macbook Pro (Nov 23). Now every plot is miniaturized.

For example, my screen measures about 13.5" x 8.8" with a ruler. When I create a new plot with plot(1:10) or quartz(height=7, width=7), the plot measures 2.0" x 2.0".

It is simple enough to initialize larger plot windows with dev.new or quartz(height=24.5, width=24.5), but the points and font stay miniaturized. Of course, I could rescale every single plot feature by 3.5-fold, but that seems like an inefficient solution.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
