[Fwd: Re: voronoi polygons]

Hi Curtis,


Thanks for your response. However I am a little confused about the
strategy that you outline.

I found this applet on the web:

http://www.cs.cornell.edu/Info/People/chew/Delaunay.html

and when I overlay the Delaunay triangulation over the Voronoi polygons,
they don't seem to follow your rule of "voronoi polygons edges
centroid of triangles". In fact there are cases where there are two
voronoi polygon vertex inside a single triangle.

As far as I understand the voronoi polygons should be unique. So I am
not sure what to make of the difference that I see.

I have attached an image (snapshot) of the complementary Delunay-Voronoy
network to make my point more clear.

Cheers,
Ricardo
