Seem to work fine on my R 2.7.2 version of Windows:

width=12,height=15, res=200)
plot(1:10)
rect(1, 5, 3, 7, col="white")
dev.off()

Did you check the version they are using.

Hi Jim,
Thanks! I've now learned that it is R 2.5.1 (which I see
is from June 2007).
Ted.

This difference *is* the version of R, not 'Linux vs Windows'.
The NEWS for 2.6.0 says

    o   jpeg(), png(), bmp() (Windows), dev2bitmap() and bitmap() have
        a new argument 'units' to specify the units of 'width' and
        'height'.

(that is something you could have checked without access to R under Windows).

Hi Folks,
Quick question. I have the following line in an R code file
which runs fine on Linux:

if(PNG) png(GraphName,width=12,height=15,units="cm",res=200)

I learn that, when the same code was run on a Windows machine,
there was the following error:

Error in png(GraphName,width=12,height=15,units="cm",res=200):
       unused argument(s) (units = "cm")

Sorry to be a bother -- but could a Windows Ruser put me wise
on any differences between png() on Windows and Linux?

(And, sorry, I don't know what version of R, nor what version
of Windows, this occurred on).

Thanks,
Ted.
