FortunesAlgorithm

FortunesAlgorithm is a Swift package for building Voronoi diagrams using Steven Fortune's algorithm. Algorithm guarantees O(n log n) worst-case running time and uses O(n) space.

You can learn more about the project using Documentation

Installing

FortunesAlgorithm can be installed as any other Swift package. Add the following to the dependencies section of your Package.swift:

.package(url: "https://github.com/fewlinesofcode/FortunesAlgorithm", from: "1.0.0")

Basic Usage

1. Add package dependency
2. Import import FortunesAlgorithm
3. Add diagram computation code in appropriate place:

let fortuneSweep = FortunesAlgorithm()
var diagram = Diagram()
let clippingRect = Rectangle(
            origin: Vertex(x: 20, y: 20),
            size: Size(width: 100, height: 100)
        )
var sites = Set<Site>([Site(x: 10, y: 10), Site(x: 50, y: 50)/* Generate sites you need ... */])
fortuneSweep.compute(
            sites: sites,
            diagram: &diagram,
            clippingRect: clippingRect
        )
        
// `diagram.cells` now contains doubly linked list of `HalfEdges` and their twins allowing you to continue diagram usage drawing.
