One hundred particles drift and bounce across a canvas, their movements guided by random acceleration and velocity decay. A Voronoi diagram of their positions is computed, then converted into a TopoJSON topology using d3-voronoi and custom logic, allowing adjacent cells to be merged or meshed via topojson.merge and topojson.mesh. The canvas animation renders the resulting cell boundaries in gray and highlights alternating merged cells as semi-transparent red polygons, with particle positions drawn as red or black dots.

AI-generated description

This example demonstrates computing a TopoJSON topology from a Voronoi diagram of random points using d3-voronoi. By computing the topology, cells can be coalesced using topojson.merge and topojson.mesh.

Voroblobinoids

A field of one hundred particle points performs a random walk with velocity damping and elastic collisions against the canvas edges. Each frame, the D3 Voronoi tessellation of these points is computed using `d3_voronoi.voronoi`, and the resulting convex cells are drawn with rounded corners via a custom `drawRoundedPolygon` function. Canvas rendering strokes the cell boundaries in white and light gray, while the particles themselves appear as small black dots. The animation loop uses `d3_timer.timer` to drive the real-time updates.

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.

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 Tessellation

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 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.

Toric Voronoi

This example demonstrates a Voronoi diagram on a torus, where 300 random points create cells that wrap seamlessly across the canvas edges. It shows how the cell structure repeats across a virtual cylinder in both horizontal and vertical dimensions, with the interactive site highlighted in red. The code uses d3.voronoi to compute the diagram, duplicating each site into eight shadow copies to handle the toroidal topology, then filtering links between shadow copies. Rendering is done via Canvas 2D context, with polygons, links, and sites drawn as separate paths.

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.
