I agree with Uffe, Looking at the points, you have an idea, but you never really know how big and what rotation the voronoi MBR will be. So if the voronoi MBR is "clipping" areas that you want included then you simply need include more existing points beyond the area of interest. If you don't have any more points outside the are of interest, simply put some new points well outside your area of interest and include them in your selection.
So the rule of thumb is, always include points well ouside of the area of interest or create dummy/dataless records to allow you to do the same. A classic example would be land based points near the ocean and part of the coast line gets "clipped" because there are no points out in the ocean to increase the vornoi MBR. Voronoi creates "grains of growth" or polygons that are the result of a bisection or half the distance from any one point, to another. In the ocean problem, simply put some dataless points out in the ocean, so that at least half the distance between any ocean points and land points is still out over the water. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Uffe Kousgaard Sent: Wednesday, May 17, 2006 4:52 AM To: Mapinfo-L Subject: Re: [MI-L] Voronoi Just add some additional points far away from your own points and then clip the resulting polygons with whatever you had in mind for additional distance.
