Steven Fortune's algorithm in PHP

PHP implementation of Steven Fortune's Voronoï algorithm.

It helps you to create Voronoï graphs (also called Thyssen polygons) automaticaly by computing the polygon coordinates based on the points.

Example usage

To generate polygons, you need to have a border box that will define the box within you'll compute your graph. Then, you need some points. Here's a simple snippet that generate random points, and them compute the polygons.

Note that border box is in the var $bbox, and points in $sites.

<?php 
require_once '../library/Nurbs/Voronoi.php';
require_once '../library/Nurbs/Point.php';
 
// Create the borderbox
$bbox = new stdClass();
$bbox->xl = 0;
$bbox->xr = 400;
$bbox->yt = 0;
$bbox->yb = 400;

// Define generated points bounds
$xo = 0;
$dx = $width = 400;
$yo = 0;
$dy = $height = 400;
$n = 20;

// Generate random points
$sites = array();
for ($i=0; $i < $n; $i++) {
    $point = new Nurbs_Point(rand($xo, $dx), rand($yo, $dy));
	  $sites[] = $point;
}

// Compute the diagram
$voronoi = new Voronoi();
$diagram = $voronoi->compute($sites, $bbox);

// You now have the cells (polygons) on the
// $diagram['cells'] variable.

You can now draw an image that represent the points and the polygons:

// Create image using GD
$im = imagecreatetruecolor($width, $height);

// Create colors
$white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$red = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 0, 0);
$green = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 100, 0);
$black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);

// Fill white background
imagefill($im, 0, 0, $white);
 
// Draw points
for ($i=0; $i < $n; $i++) {
    $point = $sites[$i];
	  imagerectangle($im, $point->x - 2, $point->y - 2, $point->x + 2, $point->y + 2, $black);
}

// Draw polygons
$j = 0;
foreach ($diagram['cells'] as $cell) {
	$points = array();
 
	if (count($cell->_halfedges) > 0) {
		$v = $cell->_halfedges[0]->getStartPoint();
		if ($v) {
			$points[] = $v->x;
			$points[] = $v->y;
		} else {
			var_dump($j.': no start point');
		}
 
		for ($i = 0; $i < count($cell->_halfedges); $i++) {
			$halfedge = $cell->_halfedges[$i];
			$edge = $halfedge->edge;
 
			if ($edge->va && $edge->vb) {
				imageline($im, $edge->va->x, $edge->va->y, $edge->vb->x, $edge->vb->y, $red);
			}
 
			$v = $halfedge->getEndPoint();
			if ($v) {
				$points[] = $v->x;
				$points[] = $v->y;
			}
		}
	}
 
	// Create polygon with a random color
	$color = imagecolorallocatealpha($im, rand(0, 255), rand(0, 255), rand(0, 255), 50);
	imagefilledpolygon($im, $points, count($points) / 2, $color);
	$j++;
}
 
// Display image
imagepng($im, 'voronoi.png');
