Overview

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):

Examples

Commands used with the North Carolina dataset to create the above figure (subset shown in figure).

g.region n=220750 s=219950 w=638300 e=639000 -p
v.delaunay input=elev_lid792_randpts output=elev_lid792_randpts_delaunay
