[Traminer-users] seqrplot: Error in plot.new() : figure margins too large

[Alexis Gabadinho]

Dear Jane,

I tried to reproduce the problem by creating an artificial sequence data 
set and a clustering variable with the same characteristics as yours:

library(TraMineR)

co.fac <- rep(paste("Gr",1:8, sep=""), 1000)
ex <- seqgen(4000, 120, 1:10)
Org.seq <- seqdef(ex)

## mean time plot
seqmtplot(Org.seq, group=co.fac)

The code above works perfectly both on Linux (R 2.10) and Windows (R 
2.12). You can try it on your computer. If you get an error with this 
code, could you tell me which R and TraMineR versions you use ?

Moreover I see an error in your "seqrplot" code :

seqrplot(Org.seq, group = co.fac, co.fac, border=NA)

You have to provide a distance matrix (created with "seqdist()") for 
plotting representative sequences, and instead you pass "co.fac" again. 
Your code should look like this (replace "my.dist.matrix" by the name of 
your distance matrix):

seqrplot(Org.seq, group = co.fac, dist.matrix= my.dist.matrix , border=NA)

Sometimes, if a graphic window is open and an error occurs with the 
plotting function, you have to close the graphic window before running 
the corrected code again.

Let me know if this is the solution to your problem.

Best,
Alexis.
