-Description: Provides an interface and a C++ implementation of the RecMap MP2
-  construction heuristic (Panse C. (2018) <doi:10.18637/jss.v086.c01>).
-  This algorithm draws maps according to a given statistical value
-  (e.g., election results, population or epidemiological data).
-  The basic idea of the RecMap algorithm is that each map region
-  (e.g., different countries) is represented by a rectangle.

 R user. Now, it is easy to generate input (e.g., no complex polygon mesh),
 the code is maintainable (less than 500 lines of `C++-11` code), and the algorithm is made robust

 Recent research publications on rectangular cartogram drawing include

 However, according to a recent publication [@TheStateoftheArtInCartograms],
 `recmap` remains the only rectangular cartogram algorithm that 'maintains zero 
 cartographic error'.
