Hi everybody,
does anyone have experience with the visualisation of data using
Delaunay triangulation and/or Voronoi shapes? Is there maybe
something like a plugin for POV which takes data (i.e. points) and
calculates the triangulation by itself?
Background: I have to visualize cells for a tissue organisation
project. Biologists like triangulated cells better, because they look
much more natural than simple spherical objects.
Best regards,
Alex

Well, not really, but there's the crackle pattern which is using a
Voronoi distance function in a random grid, and there's the source
code, too :)
If you know the maths, it should be possible to implement it in POV
script and functions. With a large data set and no optimizations it
can be a very slow calculation, though.

I don't know much about this problem but perhaps below link can help
http://news.povray.org/search/?s=Voronoi :-)

Usually, with biological data, you only have a scalar field...
see http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/~pbourke/modelling/polygonise/
(Two differents tables are used... which gives also a different
picture... and there is no absolut best solution anyway...)
brute force (but you'd better start with a 2D first, then extend the
lines into planes). Once you get any single polygon, turning it into a
set of triangles is rather painless.
