This pull request modifies
voronoi_plot_2d
andconvex_hull_plot_2d
to usematplotlib.collections.LineCollection
objects. This removes the need for repeatedly callingax.plot
on each individual line segment and speeds up plotting. This improvement is especially dramatic for the Voronoi case (approximately 13 times faster for me in the example below!).On my PC, for a set of 2000 randomly generated 2D points I got the following speedups
voronoi_plot_2d : previously 8.45 s -> now 0.63 s
convex_hull_plot_2d:| previously 111 ms -> now 83 ms
I also added an optional kwarg to
voronoi_plot_2d
that can be used to avoid adding the vertices to the plot. To my eye this looks cleaner, especially when there are a large number of points, but I have left the old behavior as the default.
