The OpenVoronoi project aims to produce an algorithm for calculating
the 2D voronoi-diagram for point, line-segment, and circular-arc sites.
Currently point-sites and line-segment sites work. Arc-sites are being worked
on. The incremental topology-oriented algorithm is used (see References).
OpenVoronoi is written by Anders Wallin (anders.e.e.wallin "at" gmail.com)
and released under GPLv3 (see COPYING).

Voronoi diagrams are used for many purposes in computational geometry,
but the motivation for OpenVoronoi has mainly been 2D offset-generation
(see offset.hpp) for cnc mill toolpath calcuations. An experimental 
approximate medial-axis filter (medial_axis.hpp) has been added.

Build/Install instructions

From PPA
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:anders-e-e-wallin/cam
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openvoronoi

From source
$ git clone git://github.com/aewallin/openvoronoi.git
$ cd openvoronoi
$ mkdir bld
$ cd bld
$ cmake ../src
$ make
$ sudo make install

Documentation
Doxygen documentation can be built with "make doc"
A white-paper on the algorithm and solvers in LyX format is located in /doc. 
It has its own CMakeLists.txt file which builds a PDF file.

Tests
Both c++ and python tests are found in src/test/. These are run with CTest.
In the build-directory either "make test" or "ctest" will run all tests. 
You can run only tests that have e.g. "ttt" in the test-name with
"ctest -R ttt"
Currently the tests do not produce any output (png or svg output could be an option?)


Organization
doc/        has documentation in lyx format, with figures in asymptote format. 
            Build a PDF with the CMakeLists.txt in this directory.
cpp_examples/ has c++ examples (more needed)
python_examples/ has Python examples. Many use VTK and VTK's python bindingd for visualization.
src/        has the source for the main algorithm
src/solvers has vd-vertex solver code
src/py      has python wrapping code
src/common  has common classes not specific to voronoi diagrams
src/utility input and output from OpenVoronoi to/from various formats

Contributing
See the TODO file. Fork the github repo, create a feature branch, commit yor 
changes, test. Make a short description of your changes and create a pull request.
Follow the coding-style of the existing code. One fix/feature per pull request.
Contributed code must comply with the GPL. Provide short doxygen-formatted 
documentation in the code.

VRONI/Martin Held. This code is commercial and not available, as far as
we know. 
http://www.cosy.sbg.ac.at/~held/projects/vroni/vroni.html
Patel (see References) seems to have independently implemented the
same algorithm, we don't know where this code is or under what license it is.

Voro++
BSD-licensed code for 3D voronoi cell computation. May not be useful for 2D toolpath generation?

Triangle
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~quake/triangle.html
Really a mesh-generator for e.g. finite-element analysis. A constrained Delaunay triangulation could be used to generate a Voronoi diagram for point and line inputs.
