White Edges Around Graphics Elements


Using the following code, I am able to generate a grayscale Voronoi diagram:


numpts = 12;
pts = RandomReal[{0, 1}, {numpts, 2}];
mesh = VoronoiMesh[pts, {{0, 1}, {0, 1}}]


mps = MeshPrimitives[mesh, 2];
vvv = {};
For[i = 1, i <= Length[mps], i++,
col = GrayLevel[  RandomReal[{0, 1}]  ] ;
graphicGrain = Graphics[{col, Polygon[mps[[ i ]] [[1]]  ]} ];

AppendTo[vvv, graphicGrain];

]


img = Show[vvv, ImageSize -> 1000, "ShrinkWrap" -> True];
img = ImageCrop[img, {950}]
Export["img_q.pdf", img]

enter image description here


As we can see from the image below, some of the grain boundaries seem to have a white edge going through them

Is there any way to generate a Voronoi diagram in such a way that these edges are not present? I have looked at similar posts regarding this 'white edge' problem but have not been successful at removing them myself.



Answer



Your issue appears to be the related to the Thickness of the edges of the polygons. It shows up most when adjacent colours are dark. By increasing the thickness of the edges using Thickness and setting the colour of the edges to the colour of the polygon using EdgeForm you can make the edges overlap slightly and remove the white lines.



I would also use the Graphics object for the export to get a better resolution in the PDF file.


I've made a slight refactoring of the code to remove the loop so it is more in Mma style.


numpts = 12;
pts = RandomReal[{0, 1}, {numpts, 2}];
mesh = VoronoiMesh[pts, {{0, 1}, {0, 1}}];
mps = MeshPrimitives[mesh, 2];

colourDirectives = {#, EdgeForm[#]} & /@ (GrayLevel[RandomReal[{0, 1}]] & /@ 
     Range[First@Dimensions@mps]);
img = Graphics[

   {Thickness[0.02]}~Append~Flatten@Riffle[colourDirectives, mps], ImageSize -> 400]

colourDirectives gets a list of pairs of GrayLevel and EdgeForm of that colour for the polygons. These are Riffled with the polygons in mps and Flatten into a single list for Graphic. That list has the Thickness Appended to it so all edges are drawn that thickness.


Hope this helps.

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...

dynamic - How can I make a clickable ArrayPlot that returns input?

I would like to create a dynamic ArrayPlot so that the rectangles, when clicked, provide the input. Can I use ArrayPlot for this? Or is there something else I should have to use? Answer ArrayPlot is much more than just a simple array like Grid : it represents a ranged 2D dataset, and its visualization can be finetuned by options like DataReversed and DataRange . These features make it quite complicated to reproduce the same layout and order with Grid . Here I offer AnnotatedArrayPlot which comes in handy when your dataset is more than just a flat 2D array. The dynamic interface allows highlighting individual cells and possibly interacting with them. AnnotatedArrayPlot works the same way as ArrayPlot and accepts the same options plus Enabled , HighlightCoordinates , HighlightStyle and HighlightElementFunction . data = {{Missing["HasSomeMoreData"], GrayLevel[ 1], {RGBColor[0, 1, 1], RGBColor[0, 0, 1], GrayLevel[1]}, RGBColor[0, 1, 0]}, {GrayLevel[0], GrayLevel...
