NAME
v.delaunay - Creates a Delaunay triangulation from an input vector map containing points or centroids.
KEYWORDS
vector,
geometry,
triangulation
SYNOPSIS
v.delaunay
v.delaunay --help
v.delaunay [-rl] input=name [layer=string] output=name [--overwrite] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]
Flags:
- -r
- Use only points in current region
- -l
- Output triangulation as a graph (lines), not areas
- --overwrite
- Allow output files to overwrite existing files
- --help
- Print usage summary
- --verbose
- Verbose module output
- --quiet
- Quiet module output
- --ui
- Force launching GUI dialog
Parameters:
- input=name [required]
- Name of input vector map
- Or data source for direct OGR access
- layer=string
- Layer number or name ('-1' for all layers)
- A single vector map can be connected to multiple database tables. This number determines which table to use. When used with direct OGR access this is the layer name.
- Default: -1
- output=name [required]
- Name for output vector map
v.delaunay uses an existing vector points map (
input)
to create a Delaunay triangulation vector map (
output).
Delaunay triangulation example (red-yellow points are the data points from which the triangulation was generated):
Commands used with the North Carolina dataset to create the above figure (subset shown in figure).
