cvt_box


cvt_box, a Fortran90 code which creates a Centroidal Voronoi Tessellation of points in a 2D box, with points constrained to lie on the boundary of the region.

This is a fairly simple and limited code, and was designed mainly for testing and experimentation. Current work is investigating more interesting regions, including holes, and other ways of "encouraging" some points to move to the boundary and stay there.
