Hello, I am using Rgraphviz, first by calling layoutGraph() then renderGraph() on graphNEL. However, I cannot get the graph to be rendered with certain margins. I've tried the oldfashioned par(mar=...), tried passing the margin parameters to both layoutGraph and renderGraph, but nothing worked. The plot always take all the available area. Setting outer margins does work (with par), but breaks in the context of multiple plots per page. Anyone know how to set margins in Rgraphviz? Cheers, Robert

I found it in the Code.

These lines say you have to set "sub" and "main", this gets you top and left margins

> sub <- getRenderPar(x, "sub", "graph")
> main <- getRenderPar(x, "main", "graph")

Set them relatively by:

> mylist$main<-5 # maintitle
> mylist$sub<-5 # subtitle
> mylist$margin <- c(5,5,5,5)
> graphRenderInfo(x)<-mylist

or add to renderGraph.R

>  margin <-  getRenderPar(x, "margin", "graph")
>  old.pars <- par(mai=margin)
