Delaunator is a fast library for Delaunay triangulation. It takes as input a set of points. The triangulation is represented as compact arrays of integers. It’s less convenient than other representations but is the reason the library is fast. After constructing a delaunay = Delaunator.from(points) object, it will have a triangles array and a halfedges array, both indexed by half-edge id. What’s a half-edge? A triangle edge may be shared with another triangle. Instead of thinking about each edge A↔︎B, we will use two half-edges A→B and B→A. Having two half-edges is the key to everything this library provides. It will also be useful to have some helper functions to go from one half-edge to the next and previous half-edges in the same triangle. We can draw all the triangle edges without constructing the triangles themselves.

Features

  • Half-edges e are the indices into both of delaunator’s outputs
  • Triangle ids and half-edge ids are related
  • A Voronoi diagram is built by connecting the Delaunay triangle circumcenters together using the dual of the Delaunay graph
  • Construct and build polygons
  • Construct Voronoi cells
  • Convex hull
