Description: Functions, documentation and example data to help divide
        geographic space into discrete polygons (zones). The package
        supports new zoning systems that are documented in the
        accompanying paper, "ClockBoard: A zoning system for urban
        analysis", by Lovelace et al. (2022)
        <doi:10.5311/JOSIS.2022.24.172>. The functions are motivated by
        research into the merits of different zoning systems (Openshaw,
        1977) <doi:10.1068/a090169>. A flexible ClockBoard zoning
        system is provided, which breaks-up space by concentric rings
        and radial lines emanating from a central point. By default,
        the diameter of the rings grow according to the triangular
        number sequence (Ross & Knott, 2019)
        <doi:10.1080/26375451.2019.1598687> with the first 4 doughnuts
        (or annuli) measuring 1, 3, 6, and 10 km wide. These annuli are
        subdivided into equal segments (12 by default), creating the
        visual impression of a dartboard. Zones are labelled according
        to distance to the centre and angular distance from North,
        creating a simple geographic zoning and labelling system useful
        for visualising geographic phenomena with a clearly demarcated
        central location such as cities.
