@ysr1729 The large white spaces between the voronoi tiles in the main body are due to pen origin shifts when changing pens/colors...

@ysr1729 ...the two cells with the larger, more obvious offset are a result of me missing a (manual) step in the workflow.

@ysr1729 Most of the workflow (map coloring, separations, cross-hatching) are automated...
@ysr1729 ...the page size & orientation along with the image centering is "manual" in the sense that it is not scripted.
@ysr1729 I basically missed the X-axis center step in @inkscape.
@ysr1729 @inkscape Basically I have to find a way to automate the page size/orientation/centering steps...
@ysr1729 @inkscape ...and minimize the origin shift when changing pens/colors.
@ysr1729 @inkscape A solution I'm trying now is those multi-color click pens...this allows for a color change with no change in pen's origin point.
@ysr1729 @inkscape Here's a stage of that previous print using a three-color (RBK) click pen:
@ysr1729 @inkscape A re-stage of that previous print. Anyway, better registration on this iteration. Not changing the pen is key.
@ysr1729 @inkscape The problem with that approach is a limited set of colors. I do have some interesting workarounds for that tho...stay tuned!
