hmmm... maybe i am doing the voronoi calculation wrong. the tringulation is delaunay, other triangles were removed from around the edges, so the borders do not appear so, but they are. i thought that to get the voronoi tesselation you drew a line from the center of a triangle to its neighbor's center. working from memory here, so would not be suprised if that isnt quite right.
That's right, the question is whether you used the incircles or circumcircles for that. I just judged by my eyesight and most cells look quite fine, but you can spot that some are a little bit off, some are even so far off that it can't come from rounding errors / computer precision.

edit: so hard to find good computational geom stuff on the internets, bu i think i figured the difference out, should be from the centers of the triangle's circumcircles. i think the triangle centers will suit my purpose fine though.
Yep. The vertices of the Voronoi cells are the centers of the circumcircles from the triangles of the Delaunay triangulation: you get the Voronoi cells if you draw in the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the triangle towards their collective intersection point. This point could even be outside of the triangle surface, if it is obtuse angled. In the same way, the vertices from the Delaunay triangulation are the intersection points of the perpendicular bisectors from the Voronoi cells.

There is quite some information about it on Wikipedia, and they got lots of links regarding Voronoi diagrams and Delaunay triangulation, too.
