Functionality
-------------

This node generates a Vector Field and a Scalar Field, which are defined
according to the Voronoi diagram for the specified set of points ("voronoi
sites"):

* The scalar field value for some point is calculated as the difference between
  distances from this point to two nearest Voronoi sites;
* The vector field vector for some point points from this point towards the
  nearest Voronoi site. The absolute value of this vector is equal to the value
  of Voronoi scalar field in this point.

So, the set of points (planar areas), where scalar field equals to zero, is
exactly the Voronoi diagram for the specified set of sites.

Inputs
------

This node has the following input:

* **Vertices**. The set of points (sites) to form Voronoi field for. This input is mandatory.

Parameters
----------

This node has the following parameters:

* **Metric**. The metric to be used for creating Voronoi field. The available options are:

  * **Euclidean**

  * **Manhattan**

      :target: https://github.com/nortikin/sverchok/assets/14288520/c3e83ab6-12bc-4757-baa0-c1ba260e5b98

  * **Chebyshev**

  * **Custom**. A generic Minkowski metric defined by formula
    ``sum(abs(dx_i)**P)**(1.0/P)``, where P is defined in the Exponent
    parameter.

  The default value is **Euclidean**.

* **Exponent**. This parameter is available only when **Metric** parameter is
  set to **Custom**. Exponent for generic Minkowski distance. The available
  values are from 1.0 to infinity. The default value is 2.0, which defines
  Euclidean metric.

Outputs
-------

This node has the following outputs:

* **SField**. Voronoi scalar field.
* **VField**. Voronoi vector field.
