voronoi

Voronoi diagram

Description

example

voronoi(x,y) plots the bounded cells of the Voronoi diagram for the 2-D points in vectors x and y.

voronoi(x,y,T) uses the Delaunay triangulation T to plot the Voronoi diagram.

voronoi(TO) uses the delaunayTriangulation object TO to plot the Voronoi diagram.

[vx,vy] = voronoi(___) returns the 2-D vertices of the Voronoi edges.

h = voronoi(___) returns a graphics array of two line object handles representing the points and edges of the diagram.

Examples

collapse all

Create two vectors containing the coordinates of 10 2-D points, and plot the Voronoi diagram.

rng default;
x = rand([1 10]);
y = rand([1 10]);
voronoi(x,y)
axis equal

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object contains 2 objects of type line. One or more of the lines displays its values using only markers

Input Arguments

collapse all

x-coordinates, specified as a column vector.

y-coordinates, specified as a column vector.

Delaunay triangulation, specified as a 3-column matrix. Each row of T contains the row indices of the input points that define a triangle in the triangulation.

Constrained Delaunay triangulation object, specified as a delaunayTriangulation object.

Output Arguments

collapse all

x-coordinates of Voronoi edges, returned as a column vector.

y-coordinates of Voronoi edges, returned as a column vector.

Graphics array, returned as an array of two line object handles representing the points and edges of the diagram.

Voronoi Diagram

Given a point in a set of coplanar points, you can draw a boundary around it that includes all points closer to it than to any other point in the set. This boundary defines a single Voronoi polygon. The collection of all Voronoi polygons for every point in the set is called a Voronoi diagram.
