Oh! It totally does. I guess I’ve just never had to apply distances in such a way that they’d butt up against one another to become what looks like basic geometry.
I’ve tried to demonstrate it here. You end up with straight lines because it’s always a middle point so it doesn’t curve one way or another between the two points.
If the circles had a set radius then you’d have empty space and more circley-looking spots. But since they basically expand until there’s a middle point you’ll have these straight lines.
For those who don’t know already, this is called a Voronoi diagram.
I think I’m too stupid to understand this. How are they straight lines and not at a diameter / in a circle from any given point? It seems… wrong.
Does this animation help?

Thanks!
What does the separating line between two circles look like?
More… circles?

I was joking. But +1 for the effort and this looks like art, btw.
Oh dang didn’t realize you weren’t the same person. Thanks for the compliment, I had fun drawing it
Draw it, then consider where the exact middle point would be. Now do the whole line between them. I think that’s the best way to figure it out.
