Welcome to the fascinating world of Voronoi diagrams! They are intriguing geometric patterns that can be used for various applications, from art designs to data visualization. In this blog, we’ll explore how to use the Parametric Voronoi Generator to create stunning diagrams, edit them on the fly, and export them as SVG files.

Getting Started

Before diving into the creation process, ensure you are using a supported browser. The project is tested primarily on Chrome, while Edge might also work well. However, you may face issues with Firefox displaying a white page. For a comprehensive understanding, check out the live demo and the Voronoi GitHub page.

Generating Your Voronoi Diagram

• Launch the Voronoi editor.
• Use the seed generators to populate your diagram.
• Adjust the number of seeds using the slider to see real-time updates.

Here’s a brief overview of how it works: Imagine you’re planting a garden. Each seed you plant represents a point in your Voronoi diagram, which grows and expands outward to claim its territory. The edges of the diagram represent the boundaries between the different garden plots. You can literally watch your garden flourish as you add or relocate seeds!

Editing Cells and Exporting SVG

Once you’ve generated your diagram, the real fun begins! You can edit cells by moving them, adding new ones, or even changing their shapes into different bezier curves. After you’re happy with your creation, exporting it as an SVG file is straightforward:

• Navigate to the export option in the menu.
• Save your Voronoi diagram as an SVG file.

Before exporting, you might also want to adjust the space between cells for a cleaner look. You can find this setting in the interface as well.

Using Seeds Coordinates

To facilitate the regeneration of the same diagram later, you can export the seed coordinates. This process works like saving your garden’s layout plans so you can replicate your design perfectly in the future:

• Export seeds as a JSON text file.
• Import them later via drag-and-drop into the editor.

Advanced Features

One of the standout features of this editor is the ability to create shaped tessellation areas. The process is achieved in two steps: sampling the shape using interpolation points and isolating the cells. Think of it as molding the garden plots to fit specific contours or paths, ensuring each plot retains its intended shape. This can be especially useful if you want to create more customized and visually appealing designs.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Working with technology can sometimes lead to hiccups. Here are some troubleshooting tips to consider:

• If you’re experiencing issues with the diagram not displaying correctly, ensure your browser is compatible.
• In case you don’t see your exported SVG file, check if the export settings are properly configured.
• Remember to refresh the page if things don’t seem to update as they should.
