hi sarah, 
 thanks for your mail.

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

##################################################

unfortunately I had this problem before. Thats the
reason, I went on using more simply,  par(9,3).

I tried the following too, although, truely I did not
understand the much after doing ?par:

> mar = c(1,1,1,1)
> oma = c(1,1,1,1)
> par(mar,oma)
[[1]]
NULL

[[2]]
NULL

> mypltfunc(lls)
> 

By doing this the problem turned out that it printed
all 27 figures, one after other in fraction of second,
and I see the last figure.



given my background (molecular biology) sometimes it
is very very difficult to understand the documentation
due to terminology problem.

thanks
sri
