Scope
Please indicate which category or categories from our package fit policies this package falls under: (Please check an appropriate box below. If you are unsure, we suggest you make a pre-submission inquiry.):
[ ] data retrieval
[ ] data extraction
[ ] data munging
[ ] data deposition
[ ] workflow automation
[ ] version control
[ ] citation management and bibliometrics
[x] scientific software wrappers
[ ] field and lab reproducibility tools
[ ] database software bindings
[x] geospatial data
[ ] text analysis
Explain how and why the package falls under these categories (briefly, 1-2 sentences):
The package provides a general wrapper for the voro++ command line tool and adds additional value by providing functions for 2D cutting of the 3D tessellation result. I consider the package to be especially valuable for spatiotemporal data visualization.
Who is the target audience and what are scientific applications of this package?
Tessellation has many scientific applications in various fields, including material science, astronomy or geography. I developed the package for interpolation and visualization of archaeological and archaeogenetic spatiotemporal data.
If you made a pre-submission enquiry, please paste the link to the corresponding issue, forum post, or other discussion, or @tag the editor you contacted.

Tessellation has many scientific applications in various fields, including material science, astronomy or geography. I developed the package for interpolation and visualization of archaeological and archaeogenetic spatiotemporal data.
I'm not aware of an other R package that either serves as an interface to voro++ or provides an own implementation of 3D tessellation.
I don't see any issues here.
