Installation

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @vivid-layer/voronoi

Usage

Give the parent element an explicit size. The shader fills the available width and height without taking ownership of positioning or page layout.

Usage
import { Voronoi } from "@/components/effects/voronoi"

export function VoronoiExample() {
  return (
    <div className="h-96 overflow-hidden rounded-xl">
      <Voronoi />
    </div>
  )
}

API reference

The wrapper adds playback and runtime safeguards while preserving the complete Paper Voronoi API. This includes its cell, gap, glow, color, motion, sizing, pixel-ratio, and styling props. See the Paper Voronoi reference for the full prop table and accepted ranges.

PropTypeDefaultDescription
playback"auto" | "always" | "paused""auto"Controls motion policy. Auto pauses for reduced motion and while the shader is outside the viewport.
width / heightnumber | string"100%"Sets the canvas CSS dimensions. Size the parent element to establish the visible area.
maxPixelCountnumber2073600Caps the rendered pixel budget. Override only after measuring the target devices.

Accessibility

The shader is decorative by default: it is hidden from assistive technology and does not receive pointer events. Do not use its color or motion as the only way to communicate information. Verify the contrast of any overlaid content.

playback="auto" honors reduced motion by rendering a stable frame. Use playback="always" only when continuous motion is essential.

Performance

The default maxPixelCount limits rendering to approximately 1080p, and automatic playback pauses work once the component is more than 200px outside the viewport. Prefer one prominent live shader per viewport.

Browser fallback

The component renders a palette-matched CSS background during server rendering and while capability detection runs. It mounts Paper only when WebGL2 is available; unsupported browsers keep the static fallback.
