Software

• VoroTop is a modern set of open-source tools for analyzing structure of spatial point sets in three dimensions. The power of this approach results from its coarse-graining of structural data in a natural configuration space, instead of in the image of this space under a continuous mapping, which has notable theoretical restrictions.
