v.delaunay - Creates a Delaunay triangulation from an input vector map containing points or centroids.
Contents
Description
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):
Example
Commands used with the North Carolina dataset to create the above figure (subset shown in figure).

Synopsis
v.delaunayv.delaunay--helpv.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

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: -1output=name[required]
Name for output vector map
