# hexmap
The **hexmap** package automates the process of generating hexagonal cartograms
for the U.S., in the style of the [Daily Kos election maps](https://dkel.ec/map).
Districts are built from hexagons and placed inside state boundaries to best
approximate their real-world geography. States are sized and positioned to
recreate the overall shape of the country while balancing the areas of each
district.
## Installation
