			<p>The Voronoi diagram is the nearest-neighbor map for a set of
			points. Each region contains those points that are nearer
			one input site than any other input site. It has many useful properties and applications. See the
			survey article by Aurenhammer [<a href="index.htm#aure91">'91</a>]
			and the detailed introduction by O'Rourke [<a
			href="index.htm#orou94">'94</a>]. The Voronoi diagram is the
			dual of the <a href=qdelaun.htm>Delaunay triangulation</a>. </p>

			<p>Qhull computes the Voronoi diagram via the <a href="qdelaun.htm">Delaunay
			triangulation</a>. Each Voronoi
			vertex is the circumcenter of a facet of the Delaunay
			triangulation. Each Voronoi region corresponds to a vertex (i.e., input site) of the
			Delaunay triangulation. </p>

			<p>Qhull outputs the Voronoi vertices for each Voronoi region. With
			option '<a href="qh-optf.htm#Fv2">Fv</a>'),
			it lists all ridges of the Voronoi diagram with the corresponding
			pairs of input sites. With
			options '<a href="qh-optf.htm#Fi2">Fi</a>' and '<a href="qh-optf.htm#Fo2">Fo</a>',
			it lists the bounded and unbounded separating hyperplanes.
			You can also output a single Voronoi region
			for further processing [see <a href="#graphics">graphics</a>].</p>

			<p>See <a href="qh-faq.htm#TOC">Qhull FAQ</a> - Delaunay and
			Voronoi diagram questions.</p>

			and '<a href="qh-optq.htm#QJn">QJ</a>' (joggled input) may produce

			<pre>
			qvoronoi- compute the Voronoi diagram
			http://www.geom.umn.edu/software/qhull

			input (stdin):
			first lines: dimension and number of points (or vice-versa).
			other lines: point coordinates, best if one point per line
			comments: start with a non-numeric character

			options:
			Qu - compute furthest-site Voronoi diagram
			Qt - triangulated output
			QJ - joggle input instead of merging facets

			Qhull control options:
			QJn - randomly joggle input in range [-n,n]
			Qs - search all points for the initial simplex
			Qz - add point-at-infinity to Voronoi diagram
			QGn - Voronoi vertices if visible from point n, -n if not
			QVn - Voronoi vertices for input point n, -n if not

			Trace options:
			T4 - trace at level n, 4=all, 5=mem/gauss, -1= events
			Tc - check frequently during execution
			Ts - statistics
			Tv - verify result: structure, convexity, and in-circle test
			Tz - send all output to stdout
			TFn - report summary when n or more facets created
			TI file - input data from file, no spaces or single quotes
			TO file - output results to file, may be enclosed in single quotes
			TPn - turn on tracing when point n added to hull
			TMn - turn on tracing at merge n
			TWn - trace merge facets when width > n
			TVn - stop qhull after adding point n, -n for before (see TCn)
			TCn - stop qhull after building cone for point n (see TVn)

			Precision options:
			Cn - radius of centrum (roundoff added). Merge facets if non-convex
			An - cosine of maximum angle. Merge facets if cosine > n or non-convex
			C-0 roundoff, A-0.99/C-0.01 pre-merge, A0.99/C0.01 post-merge
			Rn - randomly perturb computations by a factor of [1-n,1+n]
			Wn - min facet width for non-coincident point (before roundoff)

			Output formats (may be combined; if none, produces a summary to stdout):
			s - summary to stderr
			p - Voronoi vertices
			o - OFF format (dim, Voronoi vertices, and Voronoi regions)
			i - Delaunay regions (use 'Pp' to avoid warning)
			f - facet dump

			More formats:
			Fc - count plus coincident points (by Voronoi vertex)
			Fd - use cdd format for input (homogeneous with offset first)
			FD - use cdd format for output (offset first)
			FF - facet dump without ridges
			Fi - separating hyperplanes for bounded Voronoi regions
			FI - ID for each Voronoi vertex
			Fm - merge count for each Voronoi vertex (511 max)
			Fn - count plus neighboring Voronoi vertices for each Voronoi vertex
			FN - count and Voronoi vertices for each Voronoi region
			Fo - separating hyperplanes for unbounded Voronoi regions
			FO - options and precision constants
			FP - nearest point and distance for each coincident point
			FQ - command used for qvoronoi
			Fs - summary: #int (8), dimension, #points, tot vertices, tot facets,
			for output: #Voronoi regions, #Voronoi vertices,
			#coincident points, #non-simplicial regions
			#real (2), max outer plane and min vertex
			Fv - Voronoi diagram as Voronoi vertices between adjacent input sites
			Fx - extreme points of Delaunay triangulation (on convex hull)

			Geomview options (2-d only)
			Ga - all points as dots
			Gp - coplanar points and vertices as radii
			Gv - vertices as spheres
			Gi - inner planes only
			Gn - no planes
			Go - outer planes only
			Gc - centrums
			Gh - hyperplane intersections
			Gr - ridges
			GDn - drop dimension n in 3-d and 4-d output

			Print options:
			PAn - keep n largest Voronoi vertices by 'area'
			Pdk:n - drop facet if normal[k] <= n (default 0.0)
			PDk:n - drop facet if normal[k] >= n
			Pg - print good Voronoi vertices (needs 'QGn' or 'QVn')
			PFn - keep Voronoi vertices whose 'area' is at least n
			PG - print neighbors of good Voronoi vertices
			PMn - keep n Voronoi vertices with most merges
			Po - force output. If error, output neighborhood of facet
			Pp - do not report precision problems

			. - list of all options
			- - one line descriptions of all options
