Error in Pairs()

Hi, and welcome!

The error indicates that the desired plot won't fit within the constraints of the graphics window.

You can check your syntax with the help example:

pairs(iris[1:4], main = "Anderson's Iris Data -- 3 species",
      pch = 21, bg = c("red", "green3", "blue")[unclass(iris$Species)])

By the way, the form of code example above, a reproducible example, called a reprex is very helpful in attracting answers. It wasn't strictly necessary for your problem, but is something to keep in mind.

pairs() produces a matrix of scatterplots internally, but I don't know of anyway to selectively plot them in increments.

However, the GGally package, may provide that ability. Here's an example of its ggpairs()

library(GGally)
#> Loading required package: ggplot2
#> Registered S3 method overwritten by 'GGally':
#>   method from   
#>   +.gg   ggplot2
data(tips, package = "reshape")
pm <- ggpairs(tips)
pm
