This article/section is a stub — some half-sorted notes, not necessarily checked, not necessarily correct. Feel free to ignore, or tell me about it.

Other names

You may already know Voronoi (...diagram/tesselation) under another name:

  • In geophysics: Thiessen polygons (after American meteorologist Alfred H. Thiessen)
  • In mathematics: Dirichlet diagrams/tesselation, fundamental domains, metric fundamental polygons (depending on use)
  • In physics: Wigner-Seitz unit cells, Brillouin zones (depending on what it is applied to)


Delaunay triangulation is closely related: it describes the lines that are bisected.
