[New Port Request] voro++

[xarthurx]

Library name: Voro++

Library description: Voro++ is a software library for carrying out three-dimensional computations of the Voronoi tessellation. A distinguishing feature of the Voro++ library is that it carries out cell-based calculations, computing the Voronoi cell for each particle individually. It is particularly well-suited for applications that rely on cell-based statistics, where features of Voronoi cells (eg. volume, centroid, number of faces) can be used to analyze a system of particles.

Source repository URL: https://github.com/chr1shr/voro

Project homepage (if different from the source repository): http://math.lbl.gov/voro++/

Anything else that is useful to know when adding (such as optional features the library may have that should be included):

voro++ is the only other library I can find doing 3D voronoi computation beyond qHull (which has an inefficient c++ interface and is very hard to use as a cpp lib).

The author is also planning to update the lib soon and it has been used as a base component of many scientific computation software: https://github.com/chr1shr/voro/issues/13

Is there a queue for new package request? How long will it roughly take for adding the libs?

If you wish to add this port in the future, you can reopen this issue, but we're closing it for now, consider making a pull request instead, we're happy to answer any questions we can to support this effort, but for now we'd prefer to support your role as a maintainer than to take ownership ourselves. None of our core team is very familiar with voro++, so I feel you'll do a much better job than we could!
