[R] R vs. RStudio?

[C W]

I use R on Mac, and I use RStudio on Windows.  That's my opinion.

I have one problem.

When I use R on Mac. The function plot() gives a graph that's cut off.

For example, try

plot(rnorm(100)

I believe there should be space below "index" on x-axis.

Why is that?

Thanks,

Mike
