CCVT_BOX
Centroidal Voronoi Tessellation
Constrained to a Box


CCVT_BOX is a FORTRAN90 program which creates a Centroidal Voronoi Tessellation of points in a 2D box, with points constrained to lie on the boundary of the region.

This is a fairly simple and limited code, and was designed mainly for testing and experimentation. Current work is investigating more interesting regions, including holes, and other ways of "encouraging" some points to move to the boundary and stay there.

CCVT_BOX is available in a C++ version and a FORTRAN90 version and a MATLAB version.

Related Data and Programs:

CVT, a FORTRAN90 library which creates CVT's.

CVT, a dataset directory which contains files describing a number of CVT's.

CVT_DATASET, a FORTRAN90 program which creates a CVT dataset.

Author:

The FORTRAN version of CCVT_BOX was written by Lili Ju.
