Description

1) Open vector layer garden-nodes-merc1.shp (in attachment);
2) Build Voronoi Polygons using appropriate tool;
3) Change transparency of layer to 50%;
In result you can see that some of adjacent polygon are overlapped

History

#1 Updated by Maxim Dubinin almost 11 years ago

f1f17ed

works good for me (with 5% buffer and without)

#2 Updated by dr - almost 11 years ago

Update QGIS to current master 5e29777 and get the same issue.

#3 Updated by Giovanni Manghi almost 11 years ago

  • Status changed from Open to Feedback

result is ok here too (master/linux).

#4 Updated by Daniel Vaz over 10 years ago

I can't reproduce this bug. Probably it was fixed in meanwhile.

I think that issue should be closed.

Thanks in advance.

#5 Updated by Giovanni Manghi over 10 years ago

  • Resolution set to worksforme
  • Status changed from Feedback to Closed

Closing for lack of feedback and because seems ok now, please reopen if necessary.

#6 Updated by Giles Collingwood over 10 years ago

Hi I managed to reproduce this issue with a very small data set of 14 points on the master version today (QGIS-OSGeo4W-1.9.0-35-Setup.exe) attached a screenshot showing the overlapping polygon selected and the data file that generated it.

You can easily replicate the issue using the airports dataset from QGIS sample dataset. It creates overlapping polygons if used from the Vector menu as well as in processing.

#8 Updated by Andrew Bevitt over 8 years ago

This is still an issue in 2.8* and the master branch. This issue stems from the line clipping function incorrectly calculating intercept points for the buffer boundary. Attached is a patch to correct this and two example images before and after (5% buffer applied). In the images the Voronoi layer has 50% transparency. In the before the darker pinky/purple areas are where the polygons are overlapping. In the after there is no such darker (green) region.

Many thanks for this patch! I tested it and it produces much better outputs, for example fixes the issue described here #13092.

Anyway there are point layers where still overlapping polygons are produced, for example the "airports" shape of the qgis sample dataset.

This is a confirmation that the bug is still reproducible in QGIS 3.0.0.

#17 Updated by Håvard Tveite over 5 years ago

With the applied changeset, there are still issues with overlapping polygons for the airports dataset. https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/7566 adds more numerically robust comparison, and that seems to solve the issue also for the airports dataset.

#18 Updated by Håvard Tveite over 5 years ago

The pull request that fixed the airport dataset issue has been merged, so I suggest that this issue can be closed.
