A current project includes scatter plots with thousands of points. Saved as PDF files they display slowly using a pdf viewer or when included in the PDF output of a LaTeX document. Is there a process by which these plots can be 'thinned' so they show the same overall patterns but with fewer points so they display more quickly? Rasterizing them to .jpg files using 'convert' allows them to load immediately, but the bit-mapped resolution is, of course, much lower than the vector PDF format.
