v.voronoi.1grass

NAME

v.voronoi

DESCRIPTION

v.voronoi uses an existing vector points map (input) to create a Voronoi diagram (Thiessen polygons) in a new vector map (output).

The bounds of the output map are limited by the current region. (see g.region)

Voronoi diagram and Delaunay triangulation example: | Delaunay Triangulation (left pane), Voronoi diagram (center pane), and both (right pane)

NOTES

Voronoi diagrams may be used for nearest-neighbor flood filling. Give the centroids attributes (start with v.db.addcol), then optionally convert to a raster map with v.to.rast.

EXAMPLE

Commands used with the Spearfish dataset to create the above figure.
