Voronoi Spirals III generates a dynamic, color-cycling animation from 100 random seed points. The code computes Voronoi cells using d3.voronoi, then iteratively shifts each cell's vertices to create expanding spiral-like polygons over 256 red-hued frames. The final composition is captured via Canvas getImageData, and a d3.timer loop maps each frame's red intensity through a d3.scaleRainbow palette using an elapsed-time offset, producing a continuously shifting rainbow animation. The result showcases a morphing Voronoi tessellation whose colors cycle through the spectrum.

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 Spirals II

A Voronoi diagram partitions a canvas into cells around randomly placed sites; this animation continuously warps those cells by rotating each polygon's vertices, creating a swirling, spiraling effect. The fill color shifts through a smooth spectrum as the animation progresses over five seconds. The code uses d3.voronoi to compute the polygons, d3.timer for the animation loop, and d3.scaleCubehelix to interpolate the cell colors. Each frame, the first vertex of a cell is moved toward the next, shortening the polygon's edge before pushing a new point into the array. The rendering is done via the Canvas 2D API.

Rotating Voronoi in colors

Dozens of colored points orbit along concentric circular paths, while the Voronoi cells surrounding them are resampled and smoothed into curved, lens-like shapes that continuously rotate and morph. The animation is rendered as an SVG, with each cell’s fill and stroke sampled from a two-color linear scale. The code uses d3.geom.voronoi to compute cells, a basis-closed line interpolator for curvature, and d3.timer to drive the point motion and redraw the paths.

Rotating Voronoi in d3v4

A rotating Voronoi diagram animates dozens of moving points whose cells constantly morph, producing intricate curved patterns against a black background. The animation derives from points arranged on circular paths that rotate at varying speeds and radii, while the Voronoi tessellation updates each frame. The code uses d3.voronoi to compute the polygons and d3.line with the curveBasisClosed interpolator to render them. A custom resample function subdivides each polygon edge into three segments before drawing, creating the smooth, curved cell boundaries. The animation runs continuously via d3.timer, with points’ positions updated directly in response to elapsed time.

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`.

Voronoi Circles

Voronoi Circles uses D3’s Voronoi tessellation to partition a canvas into regions around moving points, with each region filled by a colored circle that pulses and shifts in size. The animation, rendered with the Canvas API, computes the Voronoi diagram via `d3.voronoi` and updates the drawing each frame. The example demonstrates how Delaunay-based spatial subdivision can drive a simple, rhythmic visual 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.

Voronoi Edges

This example animates the edges of a Voronoi diagram generated from 1,500 normally distributed random points. The visualization uses d3.Delaunay and d3.voronoi to compute the diagram, then renders its line segments incrementally on a Canvas using a JavaScript generator and requestAnimationFrame. Each frame draws approximately five new edges with random colors from d3.hsl, creating a dynamic, colorful buildup of the geometric structure.
