This lets you create Voronoï graphs automatically by computing the polygon coordinates based on a set of points.
It was originally written by Samuel Roze based on a JavaScript library by Raymond Hill.
To generate polygons, you need to have a bounding box that will define the box within you'll compute your graph. Then, you need some points. Here's a simple snippet that generate random points, and them compute the polygons.
For a more complete example, check out the file sample/voronoi.php
.
Note that bounding box is in the var $bbox
, and points in $sites
.
<?php
use Voronoi\Voronoi;
use Voronoi\Point;
// Create the bounding box
$bbox = new stdClass();
$bbox->xl = 0;
$bbox->xr = 400;
$bbox->yt = 0;
$bbox->yb = 400;
// Define generated points bounds
$xo = 0;
$dx = $width = 400;
$yo = 0;
$dy = $height = 400;
$n = 20;
// Generate random points
$sites = [];
for ($i=0; $i < $n; $i++) {
$point = new Point(rand($xo, $dx), rand($yo, $dy));
$sites[] = $point;
}
// Compute the diagram
$voronoi = new Voronoi();
$diagram = $voronoi->compute($sites, $bbox);
You now have the cells (polygons) in the $diagram['cells']
variable. With this, you can draw an image that represents
the points and the polygons:
// Create image using GD
$im = imagecreatetruecolor(400, 400);
// Create colors
$white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$red = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 0, 0);
$green = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 100, 0);
$black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
// Fill white background
imagefill($im, 0, 0, $white);
// Draw points
for ($i=0; $i < $n; $i++) {
$point = $sites[$i];
imagerectangle($im, $point->x - 2, $point->y - 2, $point->x + 2, $point->y + 2, $black);
}
// Draw polygons
$j = 0;
foreach ($diagram['cells'] as $cell) {
$points = array();
if (count($cell->half_edges) > 0) {
$v = $cell->half_edges[0]->getStartPoint();
if ($v) {
$points[] = $v->x;
$points[] = $v->y;
} else {
var_dump($j.': no start point');
}
for ($i = 0; $i < count($cell->half_edges); $i++) {
$halfedge = $cell->half_edges[$i];
$edge = $halfedge->edge;
if ($edge->va && $edge->vb) {
imageline($im, $edge->va->x, $edge->va->y, $edge->vb->x, $edge->vb->y, $red);
}
$v = $halfedge->getEndPoint();
if ($v) {
$points[] = $v->x;
$points[] = $v->y;
}
}
}
// Create polygon with a random color
$color = imagecolorallocatealpha($im, rand(0, 255), rand(0, 255), rand(0, 255), 50);
imagefilledpolygon($im, $points, count($points) / 2, $color);
$j++;
}
// Display image
imagepng($im, 'voronoi.png');
