Dear Hisaji Thank you very much for the codes. I expect that you or someone develop someday the function of continuous cartogram using newly proposed Inoue's methods as shown at http://home.csis.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~inoue/research/cartogram/area_cartogram.html. Inoue's PhD dissertation is available at

Hello. Sorry I'm not "Dr." Here is my Non-Contiguous Area-based "Shrinking" Cartogram script for maptools. This script doesn't support multi-parts polygon shape. Please try this. ### require(maptools) # # Non Contiguous Area-based Cartogram # createNonContiguousAreaBasedCarto

Hi, In the days when I had more time to work on this stuff I looked into programming continuous cartograms for maptools. If I remember correctly Danny Dorlings approach produced really nicely arranged circualr cartograms. I also remember that the optimization he used was fairly inefficient and cou

I am using the packages shapefiles, and maptools in R to visualize data from shapefiles, dbf files, and census data. My question is this, is it possible once a shapefile is read into R, to edit the contents of the shapefile? Let me give a practical example. I am using a shapefile of ele
