Ok, thanks Peter, I try to be more accurate:pdf("test.pdf",width=(20+2+4)/2.54,height=(10+3+1)/2.54) x=seq(0,pi,length=100) par( mai=c(2,3,4,1)/2.54 ) plot(x,cos(x),type="l",xlim=c(0,3),ylim=c(-1.2,1.2),xaxs="i",yaxs="i",asp=1) conv=par("mar")/par("mai") box("figure", col="darkblue") dev.off() Then figure has as expected the size 26x14cm. But the size of the *Plot Area* is not as expected 20x10cm, but 22x8cm, although I chose the margins in inches as 2 and 4 cm below and above (=26-(2+4)). Probably I confuse something with lines and inches. I'd like to have a plot area of 20x10cm and around it a (2,3,4,1)cm margin. Thanks for hints and have a nice Sunday, Thomas
Ah, now I see it. Notice that the _order_ in par("mai") follows the conventions for side=n; that is, bottom, left, top, right. So you want either mai=c(3,2,1,4) or width=20+3+1,height=10+2+4.
