abstract: 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".
