Hi, I think it may be the order in which your par() configuration occurs relative to png(). When you open a new device, as you have with png(), the default par() values for that device are exposed. If you move your par() statement to *after* your call to png() you get the result you desire.
S=read.table("Sarrazin-2.5",as.is = default.stringsAsFactors()) #par(tcl=0.5,las=1) # - move to after you open the device png(file="partest-1.png",width=580,height=580) par(tcl=0.5,las=1) # - configure the device after opening it dev.control("enable") plot(V3,V2,xlab=" ",ylab="BIP, rel. zu Deutschland", pch=16,xlim=c(630,930),ylim=c(95,135)) dev.off() See the 'details' section of ?par - "Each device has its own set of graphical parameters." I take that to mean a new set of parameters are exposed. Cheers, Ben P.S. I wonder if that sentence might have more value if it read like this, "Configure each device after opening as each device has its own set of graphical parameters." > On Jan 7, 2016, at 3:30 AM, Hans Haußmann <hhaussm...@arcor.de> wrote: > > Hi Bert Gunter and David Winsemius, > > sorry for sending my first post to R-help in German and thank you David for > your efforts to translate. > > Here are two scripts now.
