Apologies in advance if this is too broad or to vague a question.
I generate a set of randomised points, let say in 2D space so (x, y).
I want to write code to make lines between points such that I get a graph like the image, but without lines crossing each other as the green dashed lines shown do.
I want to be able to limit the number of points coming into any given node to a maximum number, so at point B the purple line would not be created if the max limit is 9 and the existing lines in image have already been constructed by the algorithm.
I will then animate the points and keep testing that no lines overlap, if so I remove lines until no lines crossing. Also need to define regions in the mesh.
Checking a radius around each point will not necessarily be enough to solve this problem as that doesn't prevent lines crossing or too many lines to a single node or point. Ideally I regularly generate points/nodes with only 3 lines coming into it like point C. Or even exclusively.
Also, as I animate points, I want to test that lines do not become to adjacent to each other as the blue lines from point D when I move it (see second image). Should I test for close to parallel vectors that share points or what?
