[R-sig-Geo] simplify map for web use

[Adrian Dușa]

Dear All,

A question from a very beginner with maps and geographic data.
I have a map with many (too many) vertices which I would like to use
interactively over a web page. What I need is to simplify that map,
make it <similar> to the original one but discarding 90% of the
current information.

I read that is possible using QGIS (which I have installed), but I
wonder if it would be possible in R. I would gladly use an R function
instead of learning how to use QGIS.

Thanks in advance,
Adrian
