  • 1.  Generating Delaunay Triangles or Voronoi Neighbour Lines

    Looking for a simple way to generate polylines between Voronoi Polygon neighbours (Delaunay Triangles) essentially to look at inter-point distance statistics. Is there a simple or obvious way to do this having generated the Voronoi polygons? I don't want to generate polylines between all other points just the natural neighbours (i.e black lines in the example attachment).

    Thanks,

    I'm not aware of a way of generating these objects using built-in functions.

    They could be created using MapBasic scripting, although the formula/logic required maybe complex. If someone has a methodology for doing this post it here (or in the MapInfo Pro Developer Group) & it would be a good discussion topic for Community members to help develop high level approach to implement in a script.

    Thanks, Ashley

    Hi Dave,

    I was able to create Delaunay Triangles with a tool called 'Alphashapes' which is on github.  The tool hasn't been updated since v10.5 but it works for me with v17.

    The github homepage for the tool is here:  mi-alphashapes

    There is some discussion of the tool here: nyalldawson.net

    Here's an example of the output, with Voronoi in Blue, Delaunay in Red and the source points in Green
