Areas of Influence

Creates polygons defined by the sets of points closest to each point of a selection in the map (Voronoi diagrams).

Areas of Influence

The Areas of Influence function in Spatial Manager Desktop™ Desktop™ allows you to generate, in a new map layer, polygons defined by the set of points closest to each point of a selection of points in the map (Voronoi diagram). Each polygon generated will adopt the same data (if any) as the corresponding point. For example, it would serve to determine which nearby areas are covered by each pharmacy in a municipality and similar scenarios.
