Introduction 

A Voronoi diagram divides a plane containing x points into x convex polygons containing one of these points. The first tutorial explains how a Voronoi diagram is constructed. The second one shows how to add it to a map in QGIS.   


Tutorial(s) 

Voronoi diagram theory  

The following tutorial explains how the Voronoi diagrams are created.
