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., a country) is represented by a rectangle whose area reflects the provided statistical value, thereby maintaining zero cartographic error. Computationally intensive tasks are implemented in C++. The included vignette documents usage of the recmap algorithm.
