[R] x labels out of Quartz canvas

[MeMooMeM]

Thanks a lot!

I looked at the document. It shows how to set the size of the canvas, but
not how to change it *after* plotting. Now I start with a bigger canvas, but
the plot is scaled into it, so I am having the same problem again :( 

I keep on reading tough. Thanks a lot for your help!
