Abstract: VoronoImage is a program for the Macintosh which demonstrates an application of computational geometry to rendering a picture into an image resembling a stained glass panel. The technique works through generating a partition tree representing a fractal arrangement of discreet Voronoi diagrams, where each Voronoi polygon is recursively subdivided into a Voronoi diagram. The Voronoi diagrams are calculated using a fast Euclidean distance mapping algorithm.
