While searching for something else a while ago I ran across a "Weighted Voronoi Stippling" program. The program is way cool (see screen captures below) but seems to have a bunch of programmatical issues. All or parts of the program appear to be in the "public domain" so I was wondering if any of the programming guru's would like to take a crack at spiffing up the Stippling application? All, or parts, of the program(s) code are done using C++ according to one reference. Nothing appears to have been updated with this application for almost a year (since 09/20/2005).
Does this interest any hot-shot programmer or anyone else??? Maybe someone could propose some sort of collaboration with the original programmer, Adrian Secord. A White Paper by Adrian can be found here.
Several points (pun intended) that need to be addressed:
1. After performing some operations the program refuses to close
2. The increase/decrease points hot keys do not seem to work
3. Manually entering the number of points sometimes doesn't work, the value is not retained after clicking OK
4. When changing parameters the display is often not updated
5. You can save the Stippled graphic as an EPS file but so far I haven't been able to open the saved EPS file with any other application due to file errors.
6. It would be nice to be able to save the Stippled picture in other raster/vector formats
7. The set radii function would benefit from an increase/decrease hotkey combination
8. Etcetera...
