tessellation (version 2.3.0)

plotVoronoiDiagram: Plot Voronoï diagram

Description

Plot all the bounded cells of a 2D or 3D Voronoï tessellation.

Usage

plotVoronoiDiagram(
  v,
  colors = "random",
  distinctArgs = list(seedcolors = c("#ff0000", "#00ff00", "#0000ff")),
  randomArgs = list(hue = "random", luminosity = "bright"),
  alpha = 1,
  ...
)

Value

No returned value.

Arguments

v

an output of voronoi

colors

this can be "random" to use random colors for the cells with randomColor, "distinct" to use distinct colors with the help of createPalette, or this can be NA for no colors, or a vector of colors; the length of this vector of colors must match the number of bounded cells, which is displayed when you run the voronoi function and that you can also get by typing attr(v, "nbounded")

distinctArgs

if colors = "distinct", a list of arguments passed to createPalette

randomArgs

if colors = "random", a list of arguments passed to randomColor

alpha

opacity, a number between 0 and 1 (used when colors is not NA)

...

arguments passed to plotBoundedCell2D or plotBoundedCell3D

Examples

library(tessellation)
# 2D example: Fermat spiral
theta <- seq(0, 100, length.out = 300L)
x <- sqrt(theta) * cos(theta)
y <- sqrt(theta) * sin(theta)
pts <- cbind(x,y)
opar <- par(mar = c(0, 0, 0, 0), bg = "black")
# Here is a Fermat spiral:
plot(pts, asp = 1, xlab = NA, ylab = NA, axes = FALSE, pch = 19, col = "white")
# And here is its Voronoï diagram:
plot(NULL, asp = 1, xlim = c(-15, 15), ylim = c(-15, 15),
     xlab = NA, ylab = NA, axes = FALSE)
del <- delaunay(pts)
v <- voronoi(del)
length(Filter(isBoundedCell, v)) # 281 bounded cells
plotVoronoiDiagram(v, colors = viridisLite::turbo(281L))
