What were H & W? For png() they are (by default) in pixels, for pdf() in inches.

You haven't told us your OS, but I guess Mac OS. Please update to R 2.7.0: that offers you two new png() devices for higher-quality plots, and various other improvements. (If you want to use the cairo-based png() at other than 72dpi, use R-patched or remember that the pointsize is mistakenly in pixels.)

For some reason, R 2.6.2 on Mac OSX (indeed) stopped doing png at all, even for plot(1:10). I've been using a postcard printer with A5 size in between, was wondering if that affected things -- and changed that in Page Setup to US Letter, to no avail. H an W were 600 x 800, resp., and most importantly this same code worked with R 2.6.0 before...

In any case, simply went and installed the 2.7.0, recompiled littler, and it all works fine now, just as before. (Hope the 4/22 build for Mac OSX incorporates Simon's recentmost fixes.) Thanks!

Cheers,
Alexy
