<h1>Voronoi Basic Tutorial<br>
</h1>
<p>In this tutorial we will cover the basic usage of the Boost.Polygon
Voronoi library that should be enough for the 95% of cases. Below we will
discuss the following topics:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>preparing input geometries<br>
</li>
<li>Voronoi diagram construction</li>
<li>Voronoi graph traversal<br>
</li>
<li>associating the user data with the Voronoi primitives</li>
<li>accessing input site inside the Voronoi cell</li>
<li>Voronoi diagram rendering<br>
</li>
</ul>
In the example that goes through this tutorial (<a href="../example/voronoi_basic_tutorial.cpp">voronoi_basic_tutorial.cpp</a>)
we
are going to construct the Voronoi diagram of a few points and
segments.
On the image below one may see the corresponding rendered Voronoi
graph. The primary Voronoi edges
are marked with
the black color, non-primary with green, input geometries have blue
color. We split each input segment onto three sites (segment
itself and both endpoints), edges that go between the sites corresponding to the same segment are
considered to be non-primary.<br>

<br>
And before you proceed don't forget to:<span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;"><br>
</span><span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;"></span><br>
<span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">#include "boost/polygon/voronoi.hpp"<br>
using boost::polygon::voronoi_builder;<br>
using boost::polygon::voronoi_diagram;<br>
</span>
<h2>Preparing Input Geometries</h2>Below is the example of how the user provided point and segment classes might look like:<br>
<br><span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">struct Point {<br>&nbsp; int a;<br>
&nbsp; int b;<br>
&nbsp; Point (int x, int y) : a(x), b(y) {}<br>
};</span><span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;"><br>
<br>struct Segment {</span><span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;"></span><br>
<span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">
&nbsp; Point p0;<br>
&nbsp; Point p1;<br>
&nbsp; Segment (int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2) : p0(x1, y1), p1(x2, y2) {}<br>
</span><span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;"></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">};<br>
<br>
</span>As we are going to use the default routines defined in the
voronoi.hpp header to construct the Voronoi diagram, we are required to map
our point and segment classes to the corresponding Boost.Polygon concepts:<br>

<br>
It's also possible to use the native Boost.Polygon types as <a href="../../../boost/polygon/point_data.hpp">point_data</a> and <a href="../../../boost/polygon/segment_data.hpp">segment_data</a>, that won't require the above mapping.<br>
<br>
So once we are done we can create the sample input:<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">std::vector&lt;Point&gt;
points;<br>
points.push_back(Point(0, 0));<br>
points.push_back(Point(1, 6));<br>
std::vector&lt;Segment&gt; segments;<br>
segments.push_back(Segment(-4, 5, 5, -1));<br>
segments.push_back(Segment(3, -11, 13, -1));</span><span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;"><br>
</span>
<h2>Construction of the Voronoi Diagram<br>
</h2>At this point we are ready to construct the Voronoi diagram:<br>
<span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;"><br>
</span><span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">
voronoi_diagram&lt;double&gt; vd;<br>
construct_voronoi(points.begin(), points.end(), segments.begin(), segments.end(), &amp;vd);</span><br>
<h2>Traversing Voronoi Graph</h2>
Voronoi graph traversal is the basic
operation one would like to do once the Voronoi diagram is constructed.
There are three ways to do that and we are going to cover all of them:<br>
<ul>
<li>simply iterating over the Voronoi edges (counts each edge twice):<br>
<span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;"><br>
int iterate_primary_edges1(const voronoi_diagram&lt;double&gt; &amp;vd)
{<br>
&nbsp; int result = 0;<br>
&nbsp; for (voronoi_diagram&lt;double&gt;::const_edge_iterator it =
vd.edges().begin();<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; it != vd.edges().end(); ++it) {<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; if (it-&gt;is_primary())<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ++result;<br>
&nbsp; }<br>
&nbsp; return result;<br>
}</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">&nbsp;</span><br>
</li>
<li>iterating over the Voronoi cells and then traversing edges around
each cell (counts each edge twice):<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">int
iterate_primary_edges2(const voronoi_diagram&lt;double&gt; &amp;vd) {<br>
&nbsp; int result = 0;<br>
&nbsp; for (voronoi_diagram&lt;double&gt;::const_cell_iterator it =
vd.cells().begin();<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; it != vd.cells().end(); ++it) {<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; const voronoi_diagram&lt;double&gt;::cell_type
&amp;cell = *it;<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; const voronoi_diagram&lt;double&gt;::edge_type *edge
= cell.incident_edge();<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; // This is convenient way to iterate edges around
Voronoi cell.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; do {<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; if (edge-&gt;is_primary())<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ++result;<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; edge = edge-&gt;next();<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; } while (edge != cell.incident_edge());<br>
&nbsp; }<br>
&nbsp; return result;<br>
}</span><br>
<br>
</li>
<li>iterating over the Voronoi
vertices and then traversing edges around each vertex (the number of the
iterations through each edge is equal to the number of finite endpoints
of the edge):<span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;"></span><br>
<span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">int
iterate_primary_edges3(const voronoi_diagram&lt;double&gt; &amp;vd) {<br>
&nbsp; int result = 0;<br>
&nbsp; for (voronoi_diagram&lt;double&gt;::const_vertex_iterator it =
vd.vertices().begin();<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; it != vd.vertices().end(); ++it) {<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; const voronoi_diagram&lt;double&gt;::vertex_type
&amp;vertex = *it;<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; const voronoi_diagram&lt;double&gt;::edge_type *edge
= vertex.incident_edge();<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; // This is convenient way to iterate edges around
Voronoi vertex.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; do {<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; if (edge-&gt;is_primary())<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ++result;<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; edge = edge-&gt;rot_next();<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; } while (edge != vertex.incident_edge());<br>
&nbsp; }<br>
&nbsp; return result;<br>
}</span></li>
</ul>
This should give a very nice idea on how to do the Voronoi
diagram traversal. Notice that while the output from the first two methods should
be the same, it wouldn't for the third one. The reason is that in the
last case we will iterate only once through the edges with a single
finite endpoint and will skip all the edges with no finite endpoints.<br>
<h2>Associating User Data with Voronoi Primitives</h2>
A few simple cases of associating the user data with the Voronoi primitives are
following:<br>
<ul>
<li>associating number of incident edges with each cell, vertex;</li>
<li>associating color information with each edge;</li>
<li>using DFS or BFS on the Voronoi graph requires to mark visited
edges/vertices/cells.</li>
</ul>
We will consider the first example and will associate the total number
of incident edges with each cell.<br>
Note: Each Voronoi primitive contains mutable color member,
that allows to use it for the graph algorithms or associate user data via array indices.<br>
<br style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">// Using color member of the Voronoi primitives to store the average number<br>
// of edges around each cell (including secondary edges).<br>
{<br>
&nbsp; printf("Number of edges (including secondary) around the Voronoi cells:\n");<br>
&nbsp; for (voronoi_diagram&lt;double&gt;::const_edge_iterator it = vd.edges().begin();<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; it != vd.edges().end(); ++it) {<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; std::size_t cnt = it-&gt;cell()-&gt;color();<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; it-&gt;cell()-&gt;color(cnt + 1);<br>
&nbsp; }<br>
&nbsp; for (voronoi_diagram&lt;double&gt;::const_cell_iterator it = vd.cells().begin();<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; it != vd.cells().end(); ++it) {<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; printf("%lu ", it-&gt;color());<br>
&nbsp; }<br>
&nbsp; printf("\n");<br>
&nbsp; printf("\n");<br>
}</span><span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;"></span><br>
<h2>Accessing Input Site inside the Voronoi Cell</h2>
As explained in the <a href="voronoi_diagram.htm">Voronoi diagram</a>
section, Voronoi cells don't contain coordinates of the input
geometries directly. Instead they contains source index and source
category that uniquely identify input site. The below routines
traverses over the all Voronoi cells, fetches input geometry
corresponding to the Voronoi cell and prints coordinates of the input
site.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">unsigned int cell_index = 0;</span><br style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">for (voronoi_diagram&lt;double&gt;::const_cell_iterator it = vd.cells().begin();</span><br style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">

<h2>Voronoi Diagram Rendering<br>
</h2>
There are two main issues that don't allow to strictly render the resulting
Voronoi diagram using such rendering tools as OpenGL or DirectX.
Those are:<br>
<ul>
<li>Some of the Voronoi edges are infinite, so should be clipped;</li>
<li>Some of the Voronoi edge are parabolic arcs, so should be
discretized.</li>
</ul>
Note: This would be the issues not only for rendering tools.
Basically every task that requires diagram to be represented as a set
of finite segments will fall into this category.<a href="../example/voronoi_visualizer.cpp"> voronoi_visualizer.cpp</a>
contains a simple fully featured implementation of the Voronoi diagram
renderer using the Qt libraries. It was used to generate all the .png
drawings under the boost/libs/polygon/example directory.<span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span><span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;"><br>

<h2>Summary<br>
</h2>
<span style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,monospace;">
</span>I hope the reader managed to get to this point and found the
basic tutorial to be useful (in the end it's not so basic). Worth
to notice that construction of the Voronoi diagram takes only two lines
of code, everything else is about initializing input data structures,
traversing Voronoi graph, associating data with the diagram primitives. In the
default mode the Voronoi diagram operates with the signed int (32-bit) input
coordinate type and double (64-bit) output coordinate type. In the <a href="voronoi_advanced_tutorial.htm">advanced Voronoi tutorial</a> we
explain why this is enough for the 95% of cases and how to expand the
algorithm coordinate types for the other 5%.<br>
