# Delaunator [](https://app.travis-ci.com/mapbox/delaunator) [](https://github.com/mourner/projects) [](https://unpkg.com/delaunator)
An incredibly fast and robust JavaScript library for
[Delaunay triangulation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delaunay_triangulation) of 2D points.

### Projects based on Delaunator
- [d3-delaunay](https://github.com/d3/d3-delaunay) for Voronoi diagrams, search, traversal and rendering (a part of [D3](https://d3js.org)).
- [d3-geo-voronoi](https://github.com/Fil/d3-geo-voronoi) for Delaunay triangulations and Voronoi diagrams on a sphere (e.g. for geographic locations).
## Example
```js
const coords = [168,180, 168,178, 168,179, 168,181, 168,183, ...];
const delaunay = new Delaunator(coords);
console.log(delaunay.triangles);
// [623, 636, 619, 636, 444, 619, ...]
```
## Install
Install with NPM (`npm install delaunator`) or Yarn (`yarn add delaunator`), then import as an ES module:
```js
import Delaunator from 'delaunator';
```
To use as a module in a browser:
```html
<script type="module">
import Delaunator from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/[email protected]';
</script>
```
Or use a browser UMD build that exposes a `Delaunator` global variable:
```html
<script src="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/delaunator.min.js"></script>
```
## API Reference
#### new Delaunator(coords)
Constructs a delaunay triangulation object given an array of point coordinates of the form:
`[x0, y0, x1, y1, ...]` (use a typed array for best performance).
#### Delaunator.from(points[, getX, getY])
Constructs a delaunay triangulation object given an array of points (`[x, y]` by default).
`getX` and `getY` are optional functions of the form `(point) => value` for custom point formats.
Duplicate points are skipped.
#### delaunay.triangles
A `Uint32Array` array of triangle vertex indices (each group of three numbers forms a triangle).
All triangles are directed counterclockwise.
To get the coordinates of all triangles, use:
```js
for (let i = 0; i < triangles.length; i += 3) {
coordinates.push([
points[triangles[i]],
points[triangles[i + 1]],
points[triangles[i + 2]]
]);
}
```
#### delaunay.halfedges
A `Int32Array` array of triangle half-edge indices that allows you to traverse the triangulation.
`i`-th half-edge in the array corresponds to vertex `triangles[i]` the half-edge is coming from.
`halfedges[i]` is the index of a twin half-edge in an adjacent triangle
(or `-1` for outer half-edges on the convex hull).
The flat array-based data structures might be counterintuitive,
but they're one of the key reasons this library is fast.
#### delaunay.hull
A `Uint32Array` array of indices that reference points on the convex hull of the input data, counter-clockwise.
#### delaunay.coords
An array of input coordinates in the form `[x0, y0, x1, y1, ....]`,
of the type provided in the constructor (or `Float64Array` if you used `Delaunator.from`).
#### delaunay.update()
Updates the triangulation if you modified `delaunay.coords` values in place, avoiding expensive memory allocations.
Useful for iterative relaxation algorithms such as [Lloyd's](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lloyd%27s_algorithm).

## Papers
The algorithm is based on ideas from the following papers:
- [A simple sweep-line Delaunay triangulation algorithm](http://www.academicpub.org/jao/paperInfo.aspx?paperid=15630), 2013, Liu Yonghe, Feng Jinming and Shao Yuehong
- [S-hull: a fast radial sweep-hull routine for Delaunay triangulation](http://www.s-hull.org/paper/s_hull.pdf), 2010, David Sinclair
- [A faster circle-sweep Delaunay triangulation algorithm](http://cglab.ca/~biniaz/papers/Sweep%20Circle.pdf), 2011, Ahmad Biniaz and Gholamhossein Dastghaibyfard
## Robustness
Delaunator should produce valid output even on highly degenerate input. It does so by depending on [robust-predicates](https://github.com/mourner/robust-predicates), a modern port of Jonathan Shewchuk's robust geometric predicates, an industry standard in computational geometry.
