Dear map-gurus, I am creating some country maps using spplot from library(raster). Once I've created a map, I save it as an .emf file. .emf format is important for me because I can have transparent background. However, once the map is saved, I am getting a huge .emf file (e.g., 74 MB). Is there any way to save it in a smaller size? Thanks a lot!

The usual advice is to use a bitmap format, e.g. png, which supports transparency, and with sufficient pixel dimensions. See ?png and do read the Details section.

If you have to use a vector output format, then you should simplify the input, which has extremely detailed coastlines but coarser resolution administrative boundaries. Maybe try gSimplify() in rgeos. Roger
Thanks a lot!
