    Parameters

        List of point coordinates.

        - Qx   - exact pre-merges (skips coplanar and anglomaniacs facets)
        - Qz   - add point-at-infinity to Delaunay triangulation
        - QJn  - randomly joggle input in range [-n,n]
        - Qs   - search all points for the initial simplex
        - Qz   - add point-at-infinity to Voronoi diagram
        - QGn  - Voronoi vertices if visible from point n, -n if not
        - QVn  - Voronoi vertices for input point n, -n if not
        
        Default is: "Qbb Qc Qz Qx" for ndim > 4 and "Qbb Qc Qz" otherwise.
            
    Input points
    ------------
    The points from which the Voronoi diagram is constructed.
    
    - `ndim`: int  
      The dimension of the input points, i.e. number of coordinates.
    - `npoints`: int  
      The number of input points.
    - `points`: 2-d ndarray  
      List of input point coordinates.
    - `center`: ndarray of floats  
      Center of mass of the input points (i.e. mean coordinates).
    - `min_bound`: ndarray of floats  
      Lower left corner of the bounding-box of the input points.
    - `max_bound`: ndarray of floats  
      Upper right corner of the bounding-box of the input points.
    
    Distances between input points
    ------------------------------
    - `ridge_points`: 2-d ndarray of ints  
        List of pairs of indices to `points` enclosing a Voronoi ridge.
    - `ridge_distances`: ndarray of floats  
        For each ridge in `ridge_points` the distance between the enclosing points.
    - `neighbor_points`: list of ndarrays of ints  
        For each point in `points` a list of indices of the Voronoi-cell's neighboring points.
    - `neighbor_distances`: list of ndarrays of floats  
        For each point in `points` a list of distances to the Voronoi-cell's neighboring points,
        matching `neighbor_points`.
    - `nearest_points`: list of ints  
        For each point in `points` the index of its nearest neighbor.
    - `nearest_distances`: ndarray of floats  
        For each point in `points` the distance to its nearest neighbor.
    - `mean_nearest_distance`: float  
        Unbiased estimate of the mean nearest-neighbor distance. This is
        the average nearest-neighbor distance corrected by one s.e.m,
        since points close to the border of the region have too large
        nearest-neighbor distances.
    
    Voronoi diagram
    ---------------
    - `vertices`: 2-d ndarray of floats  
        List of vertex coordinates enclosing the Voronoi regions.
    - `regions`: list of list of ints  
        List of lists of indices to vertices in `vertices` making up each Voronoi region.
    - `ridge_vertices`: list of list of ints  
        List of lists of indices to `vertices` making up a Voronoi ridge.
        The pairs of `points` to poth sides of the ridge are listed in `ridge_points`.
    - `ridge_lengths()`: Length of Voronoi ridges between nearest neighbors.
    - `areas()`: The areas of the Voronoi regions for each input point in `points`.
    - `point_types()`: The type of Voronoi area (infinite, finite, inside) for each input point.
    - `inside_vertices`: list of ints  
        Indices of `vertices` that are inside the convex hull of the input points.
    - `infinite_vertices`: list of ndarrays of floats  
        For each ridge in `ridge_vertices` the coordinates of the far-point, if it is an infinite ridge.
    - `infinite_regions`: list of list of ints  
        List of Voronoi regions with infinite ridges. If positive, the indices are indices to `vertices`.
        If negative they are indices into `infinite_vertices` (`-index-1`).
    
    Convex hull
    -----------
    - `hull_points`: list of ints  
        List of indices of the points in `points` making up the convex hull.
    - `hull_center`: ndarray of floats  
        Center of mass of the points making up the convex hull.
    - `inside_vertices`: ndarray of boolean  
        Indicates for each vertex in `vertices` whether it is inside the convex hull.
    - `in_hull()`: Test if points are within the convex hull of the input points.
    - `hull_area()`: The area contained in the convex hull.
    
    Outer hull
    ----------
    The outer hull is constructed from the convex hull by expanding each
    point of the convex hull away from the center of mass of the convex
    hull such that randomly placing the same number of points in this
    area results on average in the same mean nearest-neighbor
    distance. This enlarged hull is needed for bootstrapping. Note that
    in some cases the outer hull can be *smaller* than the convex hull.
    
    - `outer_hull_points`: 2-d ndarray of floats  
        Array of coordinates of the points of the outer hull.
    - `outer_min_bound`: ndarray of floats  
        Lower left corner of the bounding-box of the outer hull.
    - `outer_max_bound`: ndarray of floats  
        Upper right corner of the bounding-box of the outer hull.
    - `in_outer_hull()`: Test if points are within the outer hull.
    - `outer_hull_area()`: The area contained in the outer hull.
    
    Bootstrap Voronoi diagrams
    --------------------------
    - `random_points()`: Generate random points within the area defined by the input points.

    - `plot_infinite_ridges(): Plot the infinite ridges of the Voronoi diagram.
    - `fill_regions()`: Fill each finite region of the Voronoi diagram with a color.
    - `fill_infinite_regions()`: Fill each infinite region of the Voronoi diagram with a color.

    - `fill_hull()`: Fill the convex hull.
    - `plot_hull_center()`: Plot the center of mass of the convex hull.

    Usage
    -----
    Generate 20 random points in 2-D:
    ```
    import numpy as np
    points = np.random.rand(20, 2)
    ```
    
    Calculate the Voronoi diagram:
    ```
    from thunderlab.voronoi import Voronoi
    vor = Voronoi(points)
    ```
    
    Retrieve nearest-neighbor distances and compute Voronoi areas:
    ```
    dists = vor.nearest_distances
    areas = vor.areas()
    ```
    
    Generate random points drawn from a Poisson process with the same
    intensity and mean nearest neighbor distance as the data:
    ```
    new_points = vor.random_points(poisson=True, mode='outer')
    ```
    
    Plot Voronoi regions, distances, and input points:
    ```
    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    vor.fill_regions(colors=['red', 'green', 'blue', 'orange', 'cyan'], alpha=0.3)
    vor.plot_distances(color='red')
    vor.plot_points(text='p%d', c='c', s=100)

List of point coordinates.

radius : float or None

Radius for computing far points of infinite ridges. If None twice the maximum extent of the input points is used.

• Qbb - scale last coordinate to [0,m] for Delaunay triangulations
• Qc - keep coplanar points with nearest facet
• Qx - exact pre-merges (skips coplanar and anglomaniacs facets)
• Qz - add point-at-infinity to Delaunay triangulation

• Qz - add point-at-infinity to Voronoi diagram
• QGn - Voronoi vertices if visible from point n, -n if not
• QVn - Voronoi vertices for input point n, -n if not

Default is: "Qbb Qc Qz Qx" for ndim > 4 and "Qbb Qc Qz" otherwise.

  List of lists of indices to vertices in vertices making up each Voronoi region.

Outer Hull

The outer hull is constructed from the convex hull by expanding each point of the convex hull away from the center of mass of the convex hull such that randomly placing the same number of points in this area results on average in the same mean nearest-neighbor distance. This enlarged hull is needed for bootstrapping. Note that in some cases the outer hull can be smaller than the convex hull.

Generate 20 random points in 2-D:

import numpy as np
points = np.random.rand(20, 2)

Calculate the Voronoi diagram:

from thunderlab.voronoi import Voronoi
vor = Voronoi(points)

Retrieve nearest-neighbor distances and compute Voronoi areas:

dists = vor.nearest_distances
areas = vor.areas()

Generate random points drawn from a Poisson process with the same intensity and mean nearest neighbor distance as the data:

new_points = vor.random_points(poisson=True, mode='outer')

Plot Voronoi regions, distances, and input points:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
vor.fill_regions(colors=['red', 'green', 'blue', 'orange', 'cyan'], alpha=0.3)
