I have the following map, displaying the countries covered by my sample:
require(rworldmap)
require(tidyverse)
countries <- c("AUS", "AUT", "BEL", "BGR", "BRA", "CAN", "CHE", "CHN", "CYP",
"CZE", "DEU", "DNK", "ESP", "EST", "FIN", "FRA", "GBR", "GRC",
"HRV", "HUN", "IDN", "IND", "IRL", "ITA", "JPN", "KOR", "LTU",
"LUX", "LVA", "MEX", "MLT", "NLD", "NOR", "POL", "PRT", "ROU",
"RUS", "SVK", "SVN", "SWE", "TUR", "TWN", "USA")
countries <- as.tibble(countries) %>%
mutate(covered = TRUE) %>%
rename(countries = value)
map <- joinCountryData2Map(countries, nameJoinColumn = "countries") %>%
subset(continent != "Antarctica")
mapCountryData( map,
nameColumnToPlot='covered',
catMethod='fixedWidth',
numCats=2 ,
addLegend = FALSE,
colourPalette = c("black", "grey"),
borderCol = "white",
oceanCol = 'grey',
mapTitle = "sample coverage")
In the resulting pdf, the graph looks like this:

My question: How can I increase the size of the resulting map in the graph?
I know that in an .Rmd document, I can set fig.width of a chunk, but this increases both the size of the map and the size of the title in the resulting document. Instead, I would like to keep the size of the title fixed and only increase the size of the map relative to the title.
Thanks for your help!
