Your test is all mangleed together. You failed in your duty to read the list

The size of the device is not the size of the plot region. You need to take
into account the margins. See ?par
Thank you, David.I have read the par() document. Clearly the size of the plot
region is smaller than or equal to the divice size. However, if I produce a
graphic device with dev.new (length, width) or other functions, I find the
largest width of the new device is always 5.3 inches whatever the values I
set, and the length of it is alway smaller than what I set. Could you tell me
how to produce a graphic divice with correct size that I set? I need this
function because the graphic divice cannot accomendate all of the graph I make
with some of plot tools such as ggtree. In ggtree plot, part of the tree tips
label are invisible (https://www.dropbox.com/s/87gyusx7ay1xxu8/tree.pdf?dl=0)
even I set "par(mar=rep(0,4))". So I think I must plot the tree on a larger
graphic device. Best regards.
