Is there a way to control the default pixel sizes of images exported from RStudio?

I am producing many images with R graphics.

I am using RStudio.

RStudio has "Save plot as Image" and "Save plot as PDF" options.

However, the default size of the plot window seems to be controlled by the interface. If I resize the windows and panes, the plot resizes, and sometimes loses important data.

Is there some environment variable that controls the default number of pixels in the plots?

USe the pdf, tiff, png, etc... devices. For instance

pdf("my_plot.pdf", height=6, width=8, units="in", res=300)
plot(mtcars$mpg, mtcars$cyl)
dev.off()

In this example, the image will be 300 x 6 pixels high and 300 x 8 pixels wide.
