This plugin adds some common ways to measure the compactness through function expressions

These functions are particularly useful to detect gerrymandering, evaluate the regularity of a parcel, lot, etc...

For an introduction on geometry and compactness, see the wonderful `Math for the people` course <a href="https://web.stevenson.edu/mbranson/m4tp/version1/gerrymandering-math-topic-compactness.html">https://web.stevenson.edu/mbranson/m4tp/version1/gerrymandering-math-topic-compactness.html</a>
