Perl extension for generating cartograms, maps in which the sizes of the enumeration units have been rescaled according to an attribute they posses rather than their actual size. Resizing a map's regions in a way that keeps the map recognizable is ... [More] a difficult problem. Michael Gastner proposed a method and made available a C program to generate cartograms. By now, Geo::Cartogram simply takes a map in ESRI's shapefile format (.shp) and a user-defined function to generate the files needed for Gastner's program to run. [Less]
