@vx/voronoi
Overview
A Voronoi diagram partitions a two-dimensional plane into regions based on a set of input points.
Each unique input point maps to a corresponding region, where each region represents all points
that are closer to the input point than to any other input point.
Not only are Voronoi diagrams 😍, but they can be used to
improve the interactive experience of a visualization.
This is most often accomplished by overlaying an invisible voronoi grid on top of the visualization
to increase the target area of interaction sites such as points on a scatter plot.
The @vx/voronoi
package provides a wrapper around the existing
d3-voronoi package with some react
-specific utilities.
Installation
npm install --save @vx/voronoi
Usage
The @vx/voronoi
package exports a wrapped version of the d3 voronoi
layout for flexible usage,
as well as a <VoronoiPolygon />
component for rendering Voronoi regions.
import { voronoi, VoronoiPolygon } from '@vx/voronoi';
const points = Array(n).fill(null).map(() => ({
x: Math.random() * innerWidth,
y: Math.random() * innerHeight,
}));
const voronoiLayout = voronoi({
x: d => d.x,
y: d => d.y,
width,
height,
});
const voronoiDiagram = voronoiLayout(data);
const polygons = voronoiDiagram.polygons();
return (
<svg>
<Group>
{polygons.map((polygon) => (
<VoronoiPolygon key={...} polygon={polygon} />
))}
{points.map(({ x, y }) => (
<circle key={...} cx={x} cy={y} />
)}
</Group>
</svg>
)
For more advanced usage with events, see this example. Additional
information about the voronoi layout + diagram can be found in the
d3-voronoi documentation.
