Description: 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.
