inch window come from? I would like to make use of the entire page.
6x6 corresponds to the default size of the pdf() device, so it looks
like an issue with the implementation of paper="a4". Indeed, this
variation works as expected for me ...
pdf(file = "FarmMaps.pdf", width=7.6, height=11)
I will look at why the original approach does not work.
