Installation & Example
Project can be installed using pip:
$ pip3 install fast_gpu_voronoi
Here is a small example to whet your appetite:
from fast_gpu_voronoi import Instance
from fast_gpu_voronoi.jfa import JFA_star
from fast_gpu_voronoi.debug import save
I = Instance(alg=JFA_star, x=50, y=50, \
pts=[[ 7,14], [33,34], [27,10],
[35,10], [23,42], [34,39]])
I.run()
print(I.M.shape) # (50, 50, 1)
save(I.M, I.x, I.y, force=True) # __1_debug.png
Development
If you want to contribute, first clone git repository and then run tests:
$ git clone [email protected]:maciejczyzewski/fast_gpu_voronoi.git
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
$ pytest

...for x = 720; y = 720; seeds = 2000 (read as n = 2000; p = 720).
