In saurfang/shinyCartogram: Cartogram map component for Shiny, using d3-cartogram

shinyCartogram

This R package wraps d3-cartogram in a reusable Shiny component. The concept and R Shiny binding implementation borrows heavily from leaflet-shiny.

You can install the latest development version from github with

#install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("saurfang/shinyCartogram")

cartogram.js is a JavaScript implementation of an algoritm to construct continuous area cartograms, by James A. Dougenik, Nicholas R. Chrisman and Duane R. Niemeyer, ©1985 by the Association of American Geographers.

This example replicates the original demo that Shawn Allen made for his d3-cartogram. This R package has made it possible for you to only focus on providing the dataset and column definitions rather than writing boilerplate codes that creates the map and associated visual updates.
