Yes, I meant grid.cap() of course, but failed to check the actual name, sorry. But if you want a raster version of the current plot, it would make more sense to use a raster device, like png(). It was my understanding that the output may contain several pages of plots, and I don't know of a bitmap device in R which can do that. All the best, baptiste Paul you can then export in a multipage pdf. It may not be really flattening per se but that would definitely help with the viewing speed.
