This interactive Voronoi diagram shows how a set of one hundred random points partitions a 960-by-500 SVG canvas into polygonal cells. Moving the mouse repositions the first site, causing the diagram to recompute dynamically with the red polygon, black links, and white site markers updating in real time. Built with D3 v4 and the d3-voronoi library, the example renders polygons as SVG paths, links as lines, and sites as circles, with all geometry recalculated on each mouse move.

Voronoi Tesselation

This example visualizes a Voronoi tessellation of 100 random points within an SVG canvas, with each cell filled by a random HSL color and vertices marked as small circles. Moving the mouse repositions the first vertex, dynamically recomputing the tessellation and updating only the paths whose geometry changed. The code uses the D3 library’s `voronoi` function from the `jit/voronoi.min.js` module, along with SVG path elements and `d3.svg.mouse` for mouse coordinates. The rendering is immediate, without animations or transitions.

Bounded Voronoi Tessellation

This interactive visualization demonstrates a bounded Voronoi tessellation, where 100 randomly placed sites partition the SVG canvas into colored polygonal cells. The mouse controls the first site, dynamically updating the diagram as it moves. The code uses d3.voronoi to compute the tessellation and d3.polygonHull to create a convex hull around the sites, which is then expanded outward to bound the diagram. Artificial points are added along this expanded hull to ensure the Voronoi cells are fully enclosed, with the generator sites rendered as circles and the convex hull traced as a pink line.

Canvas Voronoi

One hundred randomly placed sites form a Voronoi diagram, rendered to a Canvas element. The cell containing the mouse position is filled red, while all cell boundaries and links between neighboring sites are stroked, and each site is drawn as a small circle. The first site follows the pointer via `d3.mouse` on touchmove or mousemove. The example uses `d3.voronoi` to compute cells, links, and polygons, with Canvas 2D context methods like `arc`, `moveTo`, and `lineTo` for drawing.

Canvas Voronoi

This example visualizes a Voronoi diagram of 100 randomly generated points, with the cell containing the mouse position highlighted in red. As the cursor moves, that site and its cell update in real time. The diagram is rendered entirely to a Canvas 2D context using the d3-voronoi API, computing both cell polygons and Delaunay links. The code draws all cells with black strokes, site markers as small circles, and semi-transparent link lines, demonstrating how d3-voronoi outputs geometric data suitable for immediate canvas drawing.

d3 Voronoi Worker

A thousand randomly moving points drive a live Voronoi tessellation, visualized as colored cells on a Canvas. A separate SVG circle tracks the mouse, while the page displays the frame rates of the data updates, the tessellation computation, and the overall rendering. The heavy Voronoi calculation runs in a Web Worker using `d3.voronoi()`, keeping the mouse tracking responsive even when the tessellation lags behind.

Voronoi Spirals

Randomly placed points generate Voronoi cells that gradually spiral inward, cycling through a Cubehelix color scale over a five-second animation. The d3-voronoi layout computes the initial polygons, then each frame the code shifts a vertex and interpolates a new point along each cell’s first edge, closing the path and filling it with a color based on elapsed time. Rendered on a Canvas via the d3.timer API, this creates a continuous, organic morphing effect.

Voronoi binning (animated)

Four thousand random points are colored by size, with the largest ten percent becoming Voronoi sites. The animation cycles through stages: it sorts points by size, uses the top ten percent as sites for d3.voronoi, then assigns every point the color of its site’s cell via the customized `diagram.find()` method. Points and cells fade, recolor, and reset every nine seconds using d3.interval and transitions.

Rotating Voronoi

Rotating Voronoi shows a black-and-white field of curved cells generated from continuously moving points. Multiple rings of points orbit at different speeds and radii, causing the Voronoi diagram to shift and deform fluidly over time. The animation uses the D3 `d3.geom.voronoi` to compute the cells, clips them against a rectangular boundary, and subdivides each polygon edge into three equal segments before applying the `basis-closed` interpolation to create the smooth, organic curves. The SVG paths are re-rendered each frame with `d3.timer`.
