spec: add voronoi-basic specification (#3420)
## New Specification: `voronoi-basic` Related to #3415 --- ### specification.md # voronoi-basic: Voronoi Diagram for Spatial Partitioning ## Description A Voronoi diagram partitions a plane into regions based on the distance to a set of seed points, where each region contains all points closer to its seed than to any other. This visualization is essential for understanding spatial relationships, proximity analysis, and territorial boundaries. It reveals natural clustering patterns and helps identify areas of influence around data points. ## Applications - Analyzing service area coverage for retail stores or emergency facilities based on customer proximity - Visualizing territorial boundaries in ecological studies to show animal home ranges or plant distribution zones - Mapping nearest-neighbor relationships in urban planning for optimizing resource placement like cell towers or hospitals ## Data - `x` (float) - X-coordinate of seed points - `y` (float) - Y-coordinate of seed points - `label` (string, optional) - Identifier for each seed point - Size: 10-50 seed points recommended for clear visualization - Example: Random or structured point distribution within a bounded region ## Notes - Cells should be clipped to a visible bounding box to prevent infinite regions - Each Voronoi cell should be visually distinguishable through colors or edge styling - Seed points should be clearly marked within their respective cells - Consider using a color palette that allows easy differentiation of adjacent regions --- **Next:** Add `approved` label to the issue to merge this PR. --- :robot: *[spec-create workflow](https://github.com/MarkusNeusinger/pyplots/actions/runs/20845032820)* Co-authored-by: github-actions[bot] <github-actions[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

# voronoi-basic: Voronoi Diagram for Spatial Partitioning

## Description
4+
5+
A Voronoi diagram partitions a plane into regions based on the distance to a set of seed points, where each region contains all points closer to its seed than to any other. This visualization is essential for understanding spatial relationships, proximity analysis, and territorial boundaries. It reveals natural clustering patterns and helps identify areas of influence around data points.

## Applications
8+
9+
- Analyzing service area coverage for retail stores or emergency facilities based on customer proximity
10+
- Visualizing territorial boundaries in ecological studies to show animal home ranges or plant distribution zones
11+
- Mapping nearest-neighbor relationships in urban planning for optimizing resource placement like cell towers or hospitals
12+
13+
## Data
14+
15+
- `x` (float) - X-coordinate of seed points
16+
- `y` (float) - Y-coordinate of seed points
17+
- `label` (string, optional) - Identifier for each seed point
18+
- Size: 10-50 seed points recommended for clear visualization
19+
- Example: Random or structured point distribution within a bounded region
20+
21+
## Notes
22+
23+
- Cells should be clipped to a visible bounding box to prevent infinite regions
24+
- Each Voronoi cell should be visually distinguishable through colors or edge styling
25+
- Seed points should be clearly marked within their respective cells
26+
- Consider using a color palette that allows easy differentiation of adjacent regions
