How are the boundaries of Thiessen polygons created?
See attached image: Thiessen polygons were created from the “H Locations”. We created 3, 5, and 7 mile non-overlapping buffers around these “H Locations”. We expected the Thiessen polygon boundaries to line up with the buffer intersections (a perpendicular line drawn at the half-way point between two H locations), however they do not.
How is the Thiessen polygon used in hydrometeorology?
The Thiessen Polygon approach is probably the most common method used in hydrometeorology for determining average precipitation (or snow) over an area when there is more than one measurement. The basic concept is to divide the watershed into several polygons, each one around a measurement point, and then take a weighted
How are proximal polygons defined in Thiessen calculus?
A single proximal polygon (Voronoi cell) is defined by all points p closest to a single point in S, that is, the total area in which all points p are closer to a given point in S than to any other point in S. Thiessen proximal polygons are constructed as follows:

How are the vertices of a Voronoi diagram obtained?
Each such cell is obtained from the intersection of half-spaces, and hence it is a convex polygon. The line segments of the Voronoi diagram are all the points in the plane that are equidistant to the two nearest sites. The Voronoi vertices (nodes) are the points equidistant to three (or more) sites.
How to create Voronoi polygons using line points?
Make voronoi polygons using the points (line_points). Dissolve the resulted polygons using either an id attribute which has been saved from line layer, or by a spatial join with line layer. I hope I have really understood your question, if not can you provide a drawing to explain your needs more.
Are the bisecting lines truly perpendicular in QGIS?
I am concerned with how QGIS (version 2.8.1) and ArcGIS (version 10.0) draw “perpendicular bisecting lines” when Thiessen/Voronoi polygons are created. When using either program to create these polygons, it appears the bisecting lines are NOT perpendicular to the line connecting two nearest points.
