A Javascript implementation of Steven J. Fortune's algorithm to
efficiently compute Voronoi diagrams. The Voronoi object's purpose is
to solely compute a Voronoi diagram, it is completely standalone, with
no dependency on external code: it contains no rendering code, that is
left to the user of the library. MIT license.

Main object: Voronoi
--------------------
A Javascript object which allows to compute a Voronoi diagram.
The Voronoi object doesn't render the resulting Voronoi diagram,
the user is responsible for rendering the diagram.
Usage
-----
Roughly:
var voronoi = new Voronoi();
var bbox = {xl:0,xr:800,yt:0,yb:600};
var vertices = [{x:200, y:200}, {x:50, y:250}, {x:400, y:100} /* , ... */];
// a 'vertex' is an object exhibiting 'x' and 'y' properties. The
// Voronoi object will add a unique 'voronoiId' property to all
// vertices. The 'voronoiId' can be used as a key to lookup the
// associated cell in 'diagram.cells'.
var diagram = voronoi.compute(vertices, bbox);
The returned 'diagram' variable is a Javascript object with the
following properties:
diagram.edges:
An array of unordered, unique Voronoi.Edge objects making up the
Voronoi diagram. Edges are defined by two vertices, 'va' and 'vb',
which vertices are shared by connected edges. This mean that
if you change one vertex belonging to an edge, other connected edges
will also be changed.
diagram.cells:
An array of Voronoi.Cell objects making up the Voronoi diagram. A Cell object
might have an empty array of halfedges, meaning no Voronoi cell could be computed for a
particular cell.
diagram.execTime:
The time it took to compute the Voronoi diagram, in milliseconds.
Objects:
Voronoi:
The Voronoi object which computes a Voronoi diagram.
Voronoi.Edge:
lSite: the Voronoi site object at the left of this Voronoi.Edge object.
rSite: the Voronoi site object at the right of this Voronoi.Edge object (can be null,
when this is a border edge).
va: an object with an 'x' and a 'y' property defining the start point
(relative to the Voronoi site on the left) of this Voronoi.Edge object.
vb: an object with an 'x' and a 'y' property defining the end point
(relative to Voronoi site on the left) of this Voronoi.Edge object.
Voronoi.Cell:
site: the Voronoi site object associated with the Voronoi cell.
halfedges: an array of Voronoi.Halfedge objects, ordered counterclockwise, defining the
polygon for this Voronoi cell.
Voronoi.Halfedge:
site: the Voronoi site object owning this Voronoi.Halfedge object.
edge: a reference to the unique Voronoi.Edge object underlying this Voronoi.Halfedge object.
getStartpoint(): a method returning an object with an 'x' and a 'y' property for the start
point of this halfedge. Keep in mind halfedges are always countercockwise.
getEndpoint(): a method returning an object with an 'x' and a 'y' property for the end
point of this halfedge. Keep in mind halfedges are always countercockwise.
