Isn't that contrary to the point of Theissen (Voronoi) polygons? Namely
they are defined as areas where in all points are closer to a common
site than to any other site, and created by connecting the centroids of
Delaunay triangles?


I think it is better to assign a weight to each polygon (ie the same
weight as its associated site) and construct a weighted mean or whatever
from that using r.mapcalc rather than actually changing the shape of the
polygons.
