ArcScripts Cartograms 1.0

This Geoprocessing Tool is used to create Cartograms. Cartograms are maps that have been transformed, with the area of each polygon adjusted based on a specific attribute value. An example is a cartogram made with population data. The Readme file and Help section of the Tool provide instructions on how to use it. The included install executable also provides sample data. This tool is based on the methodology developed by Mark Newman and Michael Gastner at the University of Michigan.
