CGAL, Cropped voronoi diagram confined in a rectangle - c++

Question

I'm using CGAL with Qt to draw Voronoi diagram. I used CGAL::Voronoi_diagram_2<DT,AT,AP>since I need the faces. This is the example code:
for(Face_iterator f = VD.faces_begin(); f != VD.faces_end(); f++)
{
Ccb_halfedge_circulator ec_start = (f)->ccb();
Ccb_halfedge_circulator ec = ec_start;
do {
if (!ec->has_source())
{
}
else
QpolyF << QPointF(((Halfedge_handle)ec)->source()->point().x(), ((Halfedge_handle)ec)->source()->point().y());
} while ( ++ec != ec_start );
VectPolygon.push_back(QpolyF);
QpolyF.clear();}
I need to clip the rays that has source or target in infinity. If I use the Cropped_voronoi_from_delaunay to generate voronoi it only gives the segments not the faces. these are the typedefs:
typedef K::Line_2 Line_2;
typedef CGAL::Delaunay_triangulation_2<K> Delaunay_triangulation_2;
typedef Delaunay_triangulation_2::Face_iterator dt_Face_iterator;
typedef Delaunay_triangulation_2::Edge_circulator dt_Edge_circulator;
// typedefs for defining the adaptor
typedef CGAL::Exact_predicates_inexact_constructions_kernel K;
typedef CGAL::Delaunay_triangulation_2<K> DT;
typedef CGAL::Delaunay_triangulation_adaptation_traits_2<DT> AT;
typedef CGAL::Delaunay_triangulation_caching_degeneracy_removal_policy_2<DT> AP;
typedef CGAL::Voronoi_diagram_2<DT,AT,AP> VD;
// typedef for the result type of the point location
typedef AT::Site_2 Site_2;
typedef AT::Point_2 Point_2;
typedef VD::Locate_result Locate_result;
typedef VD::Vertex_handle Vertex_handle;
typedef VD::Face_handle Face_handle;
typedef VD::Face_iterator Face_iterator;
typedef VD::Halfedge_handle Halfedge_handle;
typedef VD::Ccb_halfedge_circulator Ccb_halfedge_circulator;

Answer 1

There is some experimental code here: http://code.google.com/p/cgal-voronoi-cropping that crop a voronoi diagram to a rectangle, the result being a HDS. See main.cpp in the test directory

Answer 2

I know it's possible to do it with CGAL, but I found a workaround for now. in Qt, QPolygon class has the function to find intersected polygons. Qpolygon::intersected(yourPolygon).
this is the results:

Answer 3

The following will generate a random point cloud, find its Voronoi diagram, crop that diagram to the cloud's bounding box, and generate well-known text polygons.
I'm not sure how to integrate this with Qt, but, presumably, once you have the polygons this part will be easy(ish).
