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., 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.
