[R-sig-Geo] Save plot as Geotiff

[Arnaud Mosnier]

Hi,

Long version:
I made a plot (a map) including SpatialPolygons representing the coast of
my region of interest, and a SpatialPointsDataframe representing locations
of cities, and I want to save this map in GeoTiff format to allow other
people to use this map as a georeferenced background without having to
manage the various data sources. Is there a package/function in R that
would allow me to do that?
Note that converting the Spatial* objects to the raster format is not an
option because I want to be able to see the names of the cities on the map.


In short:
Is there a way to save a plot composed of Spatial* elements in a GeoTiff
format?

Thanks

Arnaud
