Error in plot new figure margins too large
The error "Error in plot.new() : figure margins too large" typically occurs when you try to create a new plot with a figure size that is too large for your device (e.g., screen or printer). This can happen when you try to create a plot with a very large size, or when you try to create a plot with a size that is not supported by your device.
Here are a few possible solutions to this error:
-
Reduce the figure size: Try reducing the figure size using the
fig.width
andfig.height
arguments in theplot()
function. For example:plot(x, y, fig.width=8, fig.height=6)
This will create a plot with a width of 8 inches and a height of 6 inches.
-
Use a different device: If you're trying to create a plot for printing, try using a different device that supports larger figure sizes. For example, you can use the
pdf()
function to create a PDF file:pdf("plot.pdf", width=8, height=6) plot(x, y) dev.off()
This will create a PDF file with a width of 8 inches and a height of 6 inches.
-
Check your device settings: Make sure that your device settings are set to support the figure size you're trying to create. You can check your device settings using the
par()
function:par()
This will display the current device settings, including the figure size. You can adjust the figure size using the
par()
function. For example:par(fig=c(0,1,0,1), new=TRUE)
This will set the figure size to the full extent of the device.
-
Use a larger font size: If you're trying to create a plot with very large text, try increasing the font size using the
cex
argument in theplot()
function. For example:plot(x, y, cex=2)
This will increase the font size to 2 times the default size.
I hope these suggestions help!
