R intro manual

Chapter 12: Graphical procedures page, 71
A typical figure is....

>From that you can find that

pin
The current plot dimensions, (width,height), in inches.

mar
A numerical vector of the form c(bottom, left, top, right) which gives the 
number of lines of margin to be specified on the four sides of the plot. 
The default is c(5, 4, 4, 2) + 0.1.




So David's remark to look at provided documentation seems to be correct. R 
is not Tetris but comes with quite good documentation and you shall use 
it. It would help you a lot.

par(mar=c(2,1,1,1)+.1)

Petr
