## About
Fast, incremental 2D Delaunay & Voronoi mesh implementation, based on
the
[@thi.ng/quad-edge](https://github.com/thi-ng/umbrella/tree/develop/packages/quad-edge)
data structure after Guibas & Stolfi and partially ported from C++
versions by Dani Lischinski, Paul Heckbert et al:

Construction speed: 20k random points ([poisson disc samples, even
distribution](https://github.com/thi-ng/umbrella/tree/develop/packages/poisson))
in ~850ms (Chrome 72, MBP 2016)

## API
[Generated API docs](https://docs.thi.ng/umbrella/geom-voronoi/)
```ts
import * as g from "@thi.ng/geom";
import { DVMesh } from "@thi.ng/geom-voronoi";
import { repeatedly } from "@thi.ng/transducers";
import { randNorm2 } from "@thi.ng/vectors";
const pts = [...repeatedly(() => randNorm2([], Math.random() * 250), 1000)];
const mesh = new DVMesh(pts);
// raw polygons of primary or dual mesh
mesh.delaunay()
mesh.voronoi()
// ...or clipped & filtered polygons within convex polygon boundary
const bounds = g.vertices(g.center(g.rect(500)));
// [ [ -250, -250 ], [ 250, -250 ], [ 250, 250 ], [ -250, 250 ] ]
const cells = mesh.voronoi(bounds);
document.body.innerHtml = g.asSvg(
g.svgDoc({ fill: "none", "stroke-width": 0.25 },
g.group({ stroke: "blue" }, mesh.delaunay(bounds).map((p) => g.polygon(p))),
g.group({ stroke: "red" }, mesh.voronoi(bounds).map((p) => g.polygon(p)))
