Visualizing Higher Order Structures, Overlap Regions, and Clustering in the Hilbert GeometryHridhaan Banerjee, Soren Brown, June Cagan et al.
Higher-order Voronoi diagrams and Delaunay mosaics in polygonal metrics have only recently been studied, yet no tools exist for visualizing them. We introduce a tool that fills this gap, providing dynamic interactive software for visualizing higher-order Voronoi diagrams and Delaunay mosaics along with clustering and tools for exploring overlap and outer regions in the Hilbert polygonal metric. We prove that $k^{th}$ order Voronoi cells are not always star-shaped and establish complexity bounds for our algorithm, which generates all order Voronoi diagrams at once. Our software unifies and extends previous tools for visualizing the Hilbert, Funk, and Thompson geometries.

Proximity Alert: Ipelets for Neighborhood Graphs and ClusteringGitan Balogh, June Cagan, Bea Fatima et al.
Neighborhood graphs and clustering algorithms are fundamental structures in both computational geometry and data analysis. Visualizing them can help build insight into their behavior and properties. The Ipe extensible drawing editor, developed by Otfried Cheong, is a widely used software system for generating figures. One particular aspect of Ipe is the ability to add Ipelets, which extend its functionality. Here we showcase a set of Ipelets designed to help visualize neighborhood graphs and clustering algorithms. These include: $\eps$-neighbor graphs, furthest-neighbor graphs, Gabriel graphs, $k$-nearest neighbor graphs, $k^{th}$-nearest neighbor graphs, $k$-mutual neighbor graphs, $k^{th}$-mutual neighbor graphs, asymmetric $k$-nearest neighbor graphs, asymmetric $k^{th}$-nearest neighbor graphs, relative-neighbor graphs, sphere-of-influence graphs, Urquhart graphs, Yao graphs, and clustering algorithms including complete-linkage, DBSCAN, HDBSCAN, $k$-means, $k$-means++, $k$-medoids, mean shift, and single-linkage. Our Ipelets are all programmed in Lua and are freely available.
