Re: Voronoi Diagrams

[Ryan Matthew Balfanz]

Hi Ben,
Thanks for the reply. He is some more information, hope it helps.

I've not included my own script / data file for this more general
example taken from
http://www.obihiro.ac.jp/~suzukim/masuda/octave/html3/octave_152.html
.
I've only upped the number of random points from 10 to 1000.

=== test_voronoi.m  ===
x = rand (1000, 1);
y = rand (size (x));
h = convhull (x, y);
[vx, vy] = voronoi (x, y);
plot (vx, vy, "-b", x, y, "o", x(h), y(h), "-g")
legend ("", "points", "hull");

=== Output ===
