Hi,
how can I convert the unit "lines" of par("mar") into inches?
par("mai") could help, but does not (see code below).
I want to plot a curve in a predefined size in pdf (I add some margin
space to the plot width&height, everything is in cm):
pdf("test.pdf",width=(20+2+4)/2.54,height=(10+3+1)/2.54)
plot(10:30,
9*cos(10:30),type="l",xlim=c(10,30),ylim=c(-10,15),xaxs="i",yaxs="i",asp=1)
#par(mar=c(0,0,0,0))
par(mai=c(2,3,4,1)/2.54)
box("figure", col="darkblue")
dev.off()
The size of the darkblue box is fine, but I cannot yet control the
size of the plot area (although
http://research.stowers-institute.org/efg/R/Graphics/Basics/mar-oma/index.htm
helped me a lot). And seeting the mar to zero (#) works in a R figure,
but not in a pdf. Why?
I already asked ("draw a 5cm x 3cm rectangle") a related question
three days ago, but I was unable to get a more complicated example in
the grid package (solution there) running.
Sorry, but I can't make heads or tails of this. You are not stating what
you intend to achieve, hence there is no way to see what you mean by "is
fine" or "doesn't work".
You have
> par("mar")/par("mai")
[1] 5 5 5 5
> par("csi")
[1] 0.2
> par("lheight")
[1] 1
which should give you a strong hint about the conversion. Also:
par("pin")+ rev(rowSums(matrix(par("mai"),2))) == par("fin")
(up to rounding error).
