maps and the art of survey-weighted maintenance

introducing swmap: cartography with complex survey data. this collection of publicly-available r syntax implements granular geographic variation visualizations similar to those seen in the popular press without compromising on survey methodology.

code to create these maps lives here https://github.com/davidbrae/swmap  thanks david rae, paul regular, joseph larmarange, djalma pessoa, hadley wickham, thomas lumley, john baumgartner, viviane quintaes, bob rudis, baptiste auguie.
