recmap: Compute the Rectangular Statistical Cartogram (original) (raw)

Implements the RecMap MP2 construction heuristic <doi:10.1109/INFVIS.2004.57>.

The area of each rectangle represents the statistical value given as input (maintain zero cartographic error). C++ is used to implement the computationally intensive tasks.
