You haven't mentioned an OS nor a graphics device, So I will guess
Windows and windows(), since that is commonest device with a history.

Hello dear R-help members,
Very soon I am to give a lecture on R. And in that lecture I intend to move
between: par(mfrow = c(1,1)) to par(mfrow = c(1,2)) back and forth.
I anticipate this will damage the image proportions and will force me to
resize the window.
So far I have found it is possible to close the window and then reopen it
(bigger/smaller) by using:
dev.off()dev.new(width=5, height=4)plot(1:20)
The issue with this solution is that I loose all the history I had with
these windows.
Thus, my question is either of two:
1) Can I resize a plot window AFTER it was created ?
Not programmatically. But you can have more than one device open and
switch between them by dev.next/dev.set ....
2) can you save and load a plot history, for between closing and opening a
graphic device ?
Yes, from the menu. There is also the more general
recordPlot/replayPlot mechanism.
But note that the windows() plot history is shared between devices, so
if you work with multiple windows their histories will be interleaved.
It is a history _of the session_ and so you can page back into the
history of previously opened devices.
So I would do this by opening a device with record = TRUE, and when I
needed a different aspect ratio, open one with record = FALSE and
close it when I was done with it.
Thanks for any help,
Tal
