cpanse/recmap: Compute the Rectangular Statistical Cartogram

Implements the RecMap MP2 construction heuristic <doi:10.1109/INFVIS.2004.57>. 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. 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. The vignette included in this package provides documentation about the usage of the recmap algorithm.
