Voronoi Diagram with Force Directed Nodes and Delaunay Links

Created by Christopher Manning

Summary

Nodes are linked to nodes in neighboring cells. The cell's color is a function of its area.

The white lines are the Delaunay triangulation and the purple cells are the Voronoi diagram.

Controls

  • Drag the cells to interact with the diagram.
  • Use the mousewheel to add/remove nodes.
  • Hold shift while using the mousewheel to change the initialization spiral
  • Press the letter s to toggle the simulation

Copy link

Is there a way to make each individual box a clickable link? Could you use JSON data to bind to each box? If so how?

@davefaliskie
Copy link

I did get the Voronoi to work with JSON data. I posted it at this link https://github.com/davefaliskie/voronoi_with_json I used Ruby on Rails, however the modified code from christophermanning can be found in assets -> javascripts -> d3_scripts.js
