CVTP
Centroidal Voronoi Tessellation on Logical Torus


CVTP is a MATLAB library which creates CVTP's, that is, Centroidal Voronoi Tessellations of a periodic region.

A 2D unit logical torus is the unit square, but with "wraparound". This is the connectivity frequently seen in video games, in which a spaceship flies off the top of the screen and immediately reappears at the bottom of the screen. In the general M-dimensional case, the extreme minimum and maximum values of each coordinate are identified, and modular arithmetic may be used to determine distances.
