NAME

       v.delaunay  - Creates a Delaunay triangulation from an input vector map containing points or centroids.

KEYWORDS

       vector, geometry, triangulation

SYNOPSIS

       v.delaunay
       v.delaunay --help
       v.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
           Quiet module output

       --ui
           Force launching GUI dialog

   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: -1

       output=name [required]
           Name for output vector map

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