Is there a way to set the default size of a plot window?

I would like to change the default size of an R plot window. Does anyone know if there is a configuration setting for this?

If you want to set the size of the plot window to 600x600, say, add this line to ~/.Xresources:

R_x11*geometry: 600x600

and reload the file with

$ xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources

Your default size of a plotting window can be set using windows.options() or X11.options() with the width and height parameters. I think setting the defaults using windows.options() also sets them for X11 devices, at least on my windows machine. On Linux, X11 is used as a graphics device and thus you should be able to use X11.options() for your needs. If you want to save these defaults across R sessions, in the examples of http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-patched/library/grDevices/html/x11.html you can find a way this can be done.
