At the moment the VoronoiDiagrammer only calculates distance "as the crow flies" this may not produce the best results. By taking land boundaries into account the transformer would produce much better results for land-based travel.

Incorporate land boundary recognition into the VoronoiDiagrammer.

I don't understand what is meant by "land boundaries" by assume that they mean something that can be presented as geometries, eg. mobile coverage areas. In that case, this suggestion gets my vote, too.

It would definitely enhance the possibilities of the VoronoiDiagrammer if it would be possible to restrict the generation of voronoi polygons to a set polygon. In other words: cut a polygon into Voronoi polygons only by the points that intersect with the given polygon.
One could think of several use cases, e.g. distribution calculations of objects within adjacent fenced areas. Or areas that are separated otherwise, by highways, rivers, and so on.
With the current VoronoiDiagrammer fences or other restrictions cannot be taken into account. And putting a Clipper after it leaves polygons belonging to the other side of the fence. The current lack of this functionality makes the VoronoiDiagrammer pretty useless in many cases.
