Here is what I have that AFAIR works fine. It's been a while since I used the code - I may be digging it out again soon though :-)

-------------




create type voronoi as (id integer, polygon geometry);

create or replace function voronoi(text,text,text) returns setof voronoi as '
    library(deldir)

    # select the point x/y coordinates into a data frame...

points <- pg.spi.exec( sprintf("select x(%2$s) as x, y(%2$s) as y from %1$s;",arg1,arg2) )

    # calculate an approprate buffer distance (~10%):

buffer = ( ( abs( max( points$x ) - min( points$x ) ) + abs( max( points$y ) - min ( points$y ) ) ) / 2 ) * (0.10)

    # get EWKB for the overall buffer of the convex hull for all points:

buffer <- pg.spi.exec(sprintf("select buffer(convexhull(geomunion(%2$s)),%3$.6f) as ewkb from %1$s;",arg1,arg2,buffer))

# the following use of deldir uses high precision and digits to prevent slivers between the output polygons, and uses # a relatively large bounding box with four dummy points included to ensure that points in the peripheral areas of the
    # dataset are appropriately enveloped by their corresponding polygons:

voro = deldir ( points$x, points$y, digits=22, frac=0.00000000000000000000000001, list(ndx=2,ndy=2), rw=c ( min( points$x ) - abs( min( points$x ) - max( points$x ) ), max( points$x ) + abs( min( points$x ) - max( points$x ) ), min( points$y ) - abs( min( points$y ) - max( points$y ) ), max( points$y ) + abs( min( points$y ) - max( points$y ) ) ) )

    tiles = tile.list(voro)

    poly = array()

    id = array()

    p = 1

    for (i in 1:length(tiles))
    {
      tile = tiles[[i]]

      curpoly = "POLYGON(("

      for (j in 1:length(tile$x))
      {
        curpoly = sprintf("%s %.6f %.6f,",curpoly,tile$x[[j]],tile$y[[j]])
      }

      curpoly = sprintf("%s %.6f %.6f))",curpoly,tile$x[[1]],tile$y[[1]])

# this bit will find the original point that corresponds to the current polygon, along with its id # and the SRID used for the point geometry (presumably this is the same for all points)...
      # this will also filter out the extra polygons created for the
# four dummy points, as they will not return a result from this query:

ipoint <- pg.spi.exec ( sprintf ( "select %3$s as id, intersection(''SRID=''||srid(%2$s)||'';%4$s'',''%5$s'') as polygon from %1$s where intersects(%2$s,''SRID=''||srid(%2$s)||'';%4$s'');", arg1, arg2, arg3, curpoly, buffer$ewkb[1] ) )

      if (length(ipoint) > 0)
      {
        poly[[p]] <- ipoint$polygon[1]
        id[[p]] <- ipoint$id[1]
        p = (p + 1)
      }
    }

Hi all,

I have used an R solution that works well with the plsql to do this. Found here:

Needed some mods for my local solution, but helpful.



Yes, I tried that, but as I noted in my earlier email, I got the following error

ERROR:  R interpreter expression evaluation error
DETAIL: Error in pg.spi.exec(sprintf("select x(%2$s) as x, y(%2$s) as y from %1$s;", : error in SQL statement : syntax error at or near ";"
CONTEXT:  In R support function pg.spi.exec
