Okay, been working with tripack, seems the most mature package for this. Got it to work well with their test data set - data(tritest). When i tried random numbers to explore further, i am getting some results that don't reconcile.
example run this: library(tripack) y <- runif(100) x <- runif(100) vm <- voronoi.mosaic(x,y) plot(vm) par(new=T) plot(x,y,col='blue') when you look at the plot of the mosaic overlayed with the raw data, the mosaic should have each data point in 1 cell, however that is not the case - any help would be appreciated. However if you run data(tritest) x <- tritest$x y <- tritest$y vm <- voronoi.mosaic(x,y) plot(vm) par(new=T) plot(x,y,col='blue') it looks at it should. -zubin > > From: Prof Brian Ripley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: 2006/07/19 Wed AM 03:15:51 EDT > To: Don MacQueen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > CC: zubin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, r-help@stat.math.ethz.ch > Subject: Re: [R] voronoi tessellations > > On Tue, 18 Jul 2006, Don MacQueen wrote: > > > I'll suggest going to the CRAN packages page and doing a search for > > "voronoi". > > The problem here is that `Voronoi tessellation' is a secondary name.
