I have a csv file with a set of coordinates with the following structure: id,name,latitude,longitude (24 values).

Those 24 points represent coordinates in a city. I would like to get a voronoi map with those coordinates as centroids, and then colour the polygons as if it were a choropleth map. The result of this will be a map to be published on a web dashboard, so I will be using js-only frameworks.

I've been following this tutorial and this example (leaflet+voronoi), but it's hard to find:

  1. Tutorials with current/modern versions of d3 and/or leaflet.
  2. Tutorials or articles on how to do the mapping process I need (coordinates>voronoi>choropleth).

Currently I am following the d3.voronoi section in the d3 API docs in order to understand how to generate the regions/polygons, but I don't know how to process those in order to generate the choropleth map using leaflet and mapbox.

  • Have you managed to make anything work? If so, can you share a link? I want to do the same thing but running into the same problems you are. – duxk.gh Nov 26 '18 at 10:28
  • I ended up using turf.voronoi on a featureCollection composed by the points previously described, then adding the polygons to a layer with leaflet geoJSON. You can see it here, methods voronoi and addVoronoiLayer (it's far from perfect but it works). Hope this helps @duxk.gh. – Daniel F Nov 27 '18 at 11:16

I can suggest you to try with turf.js instead of d3.js.

Here's the documentation for Voronoi polygons : http://turfjs.org/docs#voronoi

You will get a GeoJSON as result that you can then style as a choropleth map following the Leaflet default example : https://leafletjs.com/examples/choropleth/

  • But I need to transform my coordinates set into a FeatureCollection, right? I'm trying to use polygon in order to do so, but I don't know if it's the correct approach. – Daniel F Aug 5 '18 at 16:29
  • Yes, you need all you points in a featureCollection first. You can do that by looping on the csv rows and create a turf.point for each and then put them all in a featureCollection. Here's a Fiddle to help you : https://jsfiddle.net/23t8m6en/19/ – Léo M Aug 6 '18 at 7:30
