Dear Karly, I don't know if you've resolved your problem but I just came across the same thing in RStudio and I think I've found out what the problem is. The problem seems to occur when the plot viewing panel (by default in the bottom right) is very small. The plot function tries to create a plot within the physical space of the plot panel. If the plot panel is tiny, then the default margins of the plot may be larger than the graph/graphic itself. It is then you get the error.
The simple solution is just to increase the size of the plot area in Rstudio and then try to run the code again. The plot should be created no problem. If you are still getting the issue despite doing this, let me know and I'll try and look a bit deeper into the problem!
