cvt_basic


cvt_basic, a MATLAB code which calculates a Centroidal Voronoi Tessellation (CVT) in a square with uniform density. It is intended as an introduction to the cvt_square_uniform() code.

cvt_basic() works in a square with a uniform density. The function starts from a random initial configuration, carries out the iteration for a certain number of steps, and then displays the results.
