It's not truncated exactly. If the square was -10 to +10, then any of the points on the edge would go to infinite distance. You break the square up into a 10x10 grid and send the midpoint into the formula. This means no points actually occur on the edge. > Assigning random hues could lead to the problem where two adjacent regions > have nearly the same compound hue. if A and B win in one region, and C and D > win in another, it could be the case that the hue of (A + B) is very close > to that of (C + D).

I like the idea of moving the circle of voters and seeing who wins. ---- Election-Methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
