--snip-- > and for some elegant examples for election results, see > http://www-personal.umich.edu/~mejn/election I don't know about any R implementations, but perhaps someone on the R-Sig-Geo has seen something. Hopefully you noticed the CODE Gastner and Newman provide (through the site you mention) along with a short tutorial. The software is available as a zip file from the link on: http://www.santafe.edu/~mgastner/ That site also provides links to Gastner and Newman's PNAS paper: http://www.pnas.org/cgi/content/full/101/20/7499 or http://www.pnas.org/cgi/reprint/101/20/7499 and links to a Windows executable, http://www.jatrigis.com/cartogram/cartogram.htm, and java implementations, http://people.cas.sc.edu/hardistf/cartograms/. The MAPresso site may also be of interest: http://people.cas.sc.edu/hardistf/cartograms/ Rob ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
