[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #54896] voronoi produces no edges for provided data

[Pantxo Diribarne]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #54896 (project octave):

I think this is an invalid input (what kind of voronoi cell would you expect
from collinear points?) and voronoin fails as I would expect:


>> x = [8, 16, 32, 64]
>> y = [61.0, 122.0, 244.0, 488.0]
>> voronoin([x' y'])

QH6239 Qhull precision error: Initial simplex is cocircular or cospherical. 
Use option 'Qz' for the Delaunay triangulation or Voronoi diagram of
cocircular/cospherical points.  Option 'Qz' adds a point "at infinity".    Use
option 'Qs' to search all points for the initial simplex.

error: voronoin: qhull failed

Probably the only bug here is that voronoi fails silently instead of firing an
explicit error.
