#' Thematic Map Visualization
#'
#' Thematic maps are geographical maps in which spatial data distributions are visualized.
#' This package offers a flexible, layer-based, and easy to use approach to create
#' thematic maps, such as choropleths and bubble maps. It is based on the grammar
#' of graphics, and resembles the syntax of ggplot2.
