[R] paper size

[Faheem Mitha]

Hi,

The ~/.Renviron method should also work in Windows.

In Unix you can either set the environmental variable in .Renviron or you
can change the value in config.site. config.site is a shell script, so
well may be Unix-specific. However, it (config.site) does yield the
following useful information

(from config.site)
# The paper size for the local (PostScript) printer.
# It must either be left blank or set to one of "a4" or "letter".
# If left blank the system will use "a4".
# R_PAPERSIZE=a4

So try setting R_PAPERSIZE=a4 in .Renviron (create a .Renviron if you
don't have one) and see what happens.

Note by the way that command line arguments take precedence.

By the way, I am surprised that your system does not default to A4. I
thought that A4 defaults were pretty universal (as see the above shell
script), but maybe not in NT? What default is your system currently using?
I thought letter was the only other major option.

                             Faheem.
