For those watching their keystroke footprints, it's slightly less to
do this:
op <- par(mai = rep(4, 4)/2.54)
I personally find mm the most convenient unit so I typically set pdf
device widths and heights like this:
height = 265/25.4, width = 180/25.4
It would be nice to have an omm and mam as alternatives to omi and mai
respectively, but we have oodles of par settings already. Then
there's a lot of people who would prefer to use cm instead of mm, so
there'd have to be settings for those as well. Too much already.
I've resigned myself to typing a '/25.4' sequence after the number of
mm I'm thinking of, and that's not hard to do.
