  /* create a list of polygons from a list of rectangles in 2D. rectangles belong to groups. rectangles in the same group that are also close

     make_map_from_point_groups is that in this function, the input are points with width/heights, and we try not to place
     "lakes" inside these rectangles. This is achieved approximately by adding artificial points along the perimeter of the rectangles,
     as well as near the center.
 
     input:
     include_OK_points: OK points are random points inserted and found to be within shore_depth_tol of real/artificial points,
     .                  including them instead of throwing away increase realism of boundary 
     n: number of points
     dim: dimension of the points. If dim > 2, only the first 2D is used.
     x: coordinates
     sizes: width and height
     grouping: which group each of the vertex belongs to
     graph: the link structure between points. If graph == NULL, this is not used. otherwise
     .      it is assumed that matrix is symmetric and the graph is undirected
     bounding_box_margin: margin used to form the bounding box.
     .      if negative, it is taken as relative. i.e., -0.5 means a margin of 0.5*box_size
     nrandom (input): number of random points to insert in the bounding box to figure out lakes and seas.
     .        If nrandom = 0, no points are inserted, if nrandom < 0, the number is decided automatically.
     .        
     nart: on entry, number of artificial points to be added along each side of a rectangle enclosing the labels. if < 0, auto-selected.
     . On exit, actual number of artificial points added.
     nedgep: number of artificial points are adding along edges to establish as much as possible a bright between nodes 
     .       connected by the edge, and avoid islands that are connected. k = 0 mean no points.
     shore_depth_tol: nrandom random points are inserted in the bounding box of the points,
     .      such random points are then weeded out if it is within distance of shore_depth_tol from 
     .      real points. If 0, auto assigned
 
     output:
     nverts: number of vertices in the Voronoi diagram
     x_poly: the 2D coordinates of these polygons, dimension nverts*2
     poly_lines: the sparse matrix representation of the polygon indices, as well as their identity. The matrix is of size
     .       npolygons x nverts. The i-th polygon is formed by linking vertices with index in the i-th row of the sparse matrix.
     .       Each row is of the form {{i,j1,m},...{i,jk,m},{i,j1,m},{i,l1,m+1},...}, where j1--j2--jk--j1 form one loop,
     .       and l1 -- l2 -- ... form another. Each row can have more than 1 loop only when the connected region the polylines represent
     .       has at least 1 holes.
     polys: the sparse matrix representation of the polygon indices, as well as their identity. The matrix is of size
     .       npolygons x nverts. The i-th polygon is formed by linking vertices with index in the i-th row of the sparse matrix.
     .       Unlike poly_lines, here each row represent an one stroke drawing of the SOLID polygon, vertices
     .       along this path may repeat
     polys_groups: the group (color) each polygon belongs to, this include all groups of the real points,
     .       plus the random point group and the bounding box group
     poly_point_map: a matrix of dimension npolys x (n + nrandom), poly_point_map[i,j] != 0 if polygon i contains the point j.
     .  If j < n, it is the original point, otherwise it is artificial point (forming the rectangle around a label) or random points.
    country_graph: shows which country is a neighbor of which country.
     .     if country i and country j are neighbor, then the {i,j} entry is the total number of vertices that
     .     belongs to i and j, and share an edge of the triangulation. In addition, {i,i} and {j,j} have values equal 
     .     to the number of vertices in each of the countries. If the input "grouping" has negative or zero value, then
     .     country_graph = NULL.
