The Guerry package contains two maps of france (gfrance, gfrance85)
which are quite detailed and large in size (~900K).
In writing a vignette for the package, there are quite a few figures
that use the map multiple times in a layout, and
consequently result in huge file sizes for the .PDF files created. For
these purposes, the map need not be nearly
so detailed.
I'm wondering if there is a facility to "thin" the map by drawing it at
a lower density of lines in the polygon regions.
When I was working with SAS, there was a GREDUCE procedure that did this
nicely.
thanks,
-Michael
