|
x |
SpatialPolygonsDataFrame, SpatialPointsDataFrame or an sf object |
weight |
Name of the weighting variable in x |
k |
Share of the bounding box of x filled by the larger circle |
m_weight |
Circles' movements weights. An optional vector of numeric weights (0 to 1 inclusive) to apply to the distance each circle moves during pair-repulsion. A weight of 0 prevents any movement. A weight of 1 gives the default movement distance. A single value can be supplied for uniform weights. A vector with length less than the number of circles will be silently extended by repeating the final value. Any values outside the range [0, 1] will be clamped to 0 or 1. |
itermax |
Maximum iterations for the cartogram transformation. |
Non overlaping proportional circles of the same class as x.
