figure margins too large

[Vinz]

hi
i have searched on websites how to solve this problem but it remains, and i dont understand really how to deal with it

this code :

data()
dev.off()
par(mfrow=c(2,2))
plot(airquality$Wind,airquality$Temp)
plot(airquality$Wind,airquality$Temp)
plot(airquality$Wind,airquality$Month)
plot(airquality$Wind,airquality$Day)

always returns :
Error in plot.new() : figure margins too large

even if i enlarge at max the "plot" window

I don't see that you did share a screenshot.
Are you share you have made the plot window an appropriate size ?
You can avoid the plot window and write to disk, and then open in an image editor or what have you from there.

png()
par(mfrow=c(2,2))
plot(airquality$Wind,airquality$Temp)
plot(airquality$Wind,airquality$Temp)
plot(airquality$Wind,airquality$Month)
plot(airquality$Wind,airquality$Day)
dev.off()

png has a file param that you can use to pass a filename to make (or it will make with a default name, "Rplot%03d.png")

hi thanks

png() works perfect yes but i dont understand why the direct method gives this error message
i dont exactly understand what you mean with :

Are you share you have made the plot window an appropriate size ?

I believe @ nirgrahamuk means that the plot panel is too small in RStudio. You can enlarge it by dragging on the left edge of the panel or the top edge. I have had the same problem but can not reproduce it to file a report.

ok thanks
i use png() now, without really understanding how to fix the problem…
