[R-sig-Geo] Problems with mapmisc::insetMap()

[Agustin Lobo]

Much better now!

nica <- getData("GADM", country="NIC", level=0)
nicabg <- openmap(nica, path="landscape")
map.new(nicabg,1,mar=c(2, 2, 2, 0) + 0.1)
plot(nicabg,axes=TRUE)
plot(nica,add=TRUE)
loc <- insetMap(nica,pos=c(-89.9,8.5), width=0.3, col=NA, lty=0,pch=".")
points(loc)

Just 2 questions:
1. In the example you provide, the resulting mark is too thick. I've
made a thinner version with pch=".", but
it would nice having the option of just drawing the central point and
not the window.
2. Is there a way to calculate the size of the plotting window so that
there is no wasted white space
between the map and the axes? I can do this by hand, but then cannot
read the size.

Thanks
