		Hierarchical Exploded-View Cartography // Tools for generating
		hierarchical exploded-view maps from dense administrative
		boundary data. The package applies rigid-body translations to
		polygon geometries using a centroid-driven vector field,
		preserving the internal geometry of each feature while
		separating units within and across regions. Parameters can be
		derived analytically from dataset geometry using closed-form
		models for regional separation and local expansion. The package
		also includes grouped layouts, optional bounded collision
		refinement, and an interactive focus-map widget for selected-
		area inspection in 'htmlwidgets' and 'Shiny'. It implements the
		methodology described in George Arthur (2026)
		https://github.com/PrigasG/explodemap "A Hierarchical Vector-
		Based Framework for Multi-Scale Exploded-View Cartography".
