I have had some fun in the last few days trying to put together an
annotated map of China with R and some public GIS data:

It is done, and rather nice... there are a few issues:
- the default pdf() device cannot do CJK with embedded fonts - and
cairo_pdf() is not hooked up to Sweave yet. I have had a quick look, and it
does not look too complicated, other than the fact that cairo_pdf() is
mutually exclusive with pdf(); and the jpeg/png are new to 2.13 so it is
probably just nobody has gotten round to it. (and cairo_pdf() also behaves
differently with the onefile option). I guess I am almost saying I might
get my hand dirty or help somebody else who wants to. So it is probably
best to start some discussion.
It is not hard to write your own device functions, especially in 2.14.0. See
rgl::rgl.Sweave for an example.
And guess what the example in the Sweave manual uses? cairo_pdf() ...
