NAME¶

v.delaunay - Creates a Delaunay triangulation from an input vector map containing points or centroids.

KEYWORDS¶

vector, geometry, triangulation

SYNOPSIS¶

v.delaunay v.delaunay help v.delaunay [-rl] input=name output=name [-- overwrite] [--verbose] [--quiet]

Flags:¶

-r

 

Use only points in current region

-l

 

Output triangulation as a graph (lines), not areas

--overwrite

 

Allow output files to overwrite existing files

--verbose

 

Verbose module output

--quiet

 

Quiet module output

Parameters:¶

input=name

 

Name of input vector map

output=name

 

Name for output vector map

DESCRIPTION¶

v.delaunay uses an existing vector points map (input) to create a Delaunay triangulation vector map ( output). Delaunay triangulation and Voronoi diagram example: | Delaunay Triangulation (left pane), Voronoi diagram (center pane), and both (right pane)

EXAMPLE¶

Commands used with the Spearfish dataset to create the above figure.
