Voro++, a 3D cell-based Voronoi library (http://math.lbl.gov/voro++/) By Chris H. Rycroft (Harvard University / Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory) ================================================================ Voro++ is a software library for carrying out three-dimensional computations of the Voronoi tessellation. A distinguishing feature of the Voro++ library is that it carries out cell-based calculations, computing the Voronoi cell for each particle individually, rather than computing the Voronoi tessellation as a global network of vertices and edges. It is particularly well-suited for applications that rely on cell-based statistics, where features of Voronoi cells (e.g. volume, centroid, number of faces) can be used to analyze a system of particles. Voro++ comprises of several C++ classes that can be built as a static library and linked to. A command-line utility is also provided that can analyze text files of particle configurations and use most of the features of the code. Numerous examples are provided to demonstrate the library's features and all of these are discussed in detail on the library website. Compilation - Linux / Mac OS / Windows with Cygwin ================================================== The code is written in ANSI C++, and compiles on many system architectures. The package contains the C++ source code, example files, miscellaneous utilities and documentation. On Linux, Mac OS, and Windows (using Cygwin), the compilation and installed can be carried out using GNU Make. To begin, the user should review the file "config.mk" in the top level directory, to make sure that the compilation and installation settings are appropriate for their system. Typing "make" will then compile the static library, command-line utility, and examples. The command-line utility and library will appear within the "src" directory. Following successful compilation, the library, command-line utility, and documentation can be installed by typing "sudo make install". By default, the program files are installed into /usr/local, and it may be necessary to modify your environment variables in order to access the installed files: - to use the command-line utility, the variable PATH should contain /usr/local/bin. - to access the Voro++ man page, the variable MANPATH should contain /usr/local/man. - to access the Voro++ header files, code compilation should include the flag '-I/usr/local/include/voro++'. - to link to the static library, code compilation should include the flags '-L/usr/local/lib' to tell the linker where to look, and then '-lvoro++' to link to the library. The library website contains additional notes on setting environment variables, and many guides are available on the Internet. The code can later be uninstalled with "sudo make uninstall". It is also possible to use the library and command-line utility without installation by calling the files directly once they have been compiled. On systems where the user does not have root privileges to install into /usr/local, the "config.mk" file can be modified to install into the user's home directory by setting PREFIX=$(HOME). Voro++ supports parallel compilation by using the "make -j <n>" command where n is the number of threads. Compilation - Windows without Cygwin ==================================== On a Windows machine without a terminal environment like Cygwin, it is possible to import and compile the library in many standard C++ development environments. Users have reported success in building the library with Microsoft Visual C++ Express and Code::Blocks. Related programs ================ No external dependencies are required to compile and run the code, but several programs may be useful for analyzing the output: - The freeware plotting program Gnuplot (available at www.gnuplot.info) can be used for rapid 2D and 3D visualization of the program output. - The freeware raytracer POV-Ray (available at www.povray.org) can be used for high-quality renderings of the program output. - The reference manual is generated from comments in the source code using Doxygen (available at www.doxygen.org). This package is only required if the library files are being developed and the reference manuals need to be regenerated. The complete reference manual to the current code is available online at http://math.lbl.gov/voro++/doc/refman/ Contents ======== examples - many documented examples making use of the library html - an HTML-based reference manual (generated by Doxygen) man - contains the man page that is installed with the program scripts - miscellaneous helper scripts src - source code files Usage ===== Voro++ is released as free software through the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory - a detailed copyright notice is provided below, and the complete terms of the license can be found in the LICENSE file. I am very interested to hear from users of the software, so if you find this useful, please email me at [email protected]. Also, if you plan to publish an academic paper using this software, please consider citing one of the following publications: - Chris H. Rycroft, "Voro++: A three-dimensional Voronoi cell library in C++", Chaos 19, 041111 (2009). - Chris H. Rycroft, Gary S. Grest, James W. Landry, and Martin Z.

Rycroft, "Multiscale Modeling in Granular Flow", PhD thesis submitted to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, September 2007. (http://seas.harvard.edu/~chr/publish/phd.html) The first reference contains a one-page overview of the library. The second reference contains some of the initial images that were made using a very early version of this code, to track small changes in packing fraction in a large particle simulation. The third reference discusses the use of 3D Voronoi cells, and describes the algorithms that were employed in the early version of this code. Since the publication of the above references, the algorithms in Voro++ have been significantly improved.
