summary.recmap

summary.recmapGA

Summary method for S3 class <code>recmap</code>.
The area error is computed as described in the CartoDraw paper.

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.
