[R-sig-Geo] New package for thematic cartography: cartography

[Timothee Giraud]

Dear members of the list,

We just wanted to bring your attention to our new package on CRAN: 
cartography.

This package allows various cartographic representations: proportional 
symbols, chroropleth, typology, flows, discontinuities...
It also proposes some additional useful features: cartographic palettes, 
layout (scale, north arrow, title...), labels, legends, access to 
cartographic API...

Note that the vignette of the package contains commented scripts on how 
to build various types of maps.

The development version is on GitHub: 
https://github.com/Groupe-ElementR/cartography .

And of course feedbacks on the package are more than welcome!

Best regards,
Timothée
