This example shows a static Voronoi tessellation over a set of random points, with animated spiraling lines tracing each polygon’s edges in sequence. It uses D3’s `d3.geom.voronoi` to compute the polygons from 40 random vertices, clipping them to the SVG canvas, and renders them as SVG `<path>` elements. The animation repeatedly shifts a point along each polygon’s perimeter, drawing a new line segment between consecutive points using `setInterval` and updating the `d` attribute of appended paths. The code relies on D3 3.5.5 and custom helper libraries (`d3-jetpack` and `d3-starterkit`) for concise SVG manipulation, with the overall rendering purely vector-based in SVG.

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.

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.

Gist c7122eee6247b95dba09

This example generates a continuously evolving abstract animation by drawing Voronoi polygons in alternating black and white. It shows a recursive process where each polygon’s edges are traced with short, sequential line segments that slowly shrink the polygon’s boundary, creating a spiral-like contraction. The animation uses D3’s `d3.geom.voronoi()` with a clip extent to create the polygons from random points, and then employs Canvas 2D API calls like `beginPath`, `lineTo`, and `stroke` to draw each step. A queue (`queue.js`) schedules the drawing of each polygon, and the code alternates stroke colors (`#000` and `#fff`) after each full pass, repeating indefinitely.

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.

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.

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.

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`.
