fixes #41

This is the first commit in the notebook and I'm having a few difficulties making the first Cartogram plot. Mainly the following:

• I'm not sure how to resize each state in the map to reflect the population density. My first idea is to multiply the density column by the size of each state but there is no column for "size" of each state. The data I used to plot the map is from bokeh.sampledata and each state 'size' was a list of latitude and longitude values which was plotted using the patches glyph.
• The legend_field parameter displays from low to high values. I don't know how to get it to display in reverse (high to low), if the option is available.

@ianthomas23 do you have any thoughts about how this plot could be accurately replicated? Here's what I'm trying to replicate https://clauswilke.com/dataviz/geospatial-data.html#cartograms

It is not my area of expertise, but you could pre-process the data to get the cartogram polygons. Bryan mentioned https://github.com/Flow-Based-Cartograms/go_cart recently as a possible solution.
