Voronoi diagrams are constructed from their sites (given in homogeneous coordinates).

> $VD = new VoronoiPolyhedron(SITES=>[[1,1,1],[1,0,1],[1,-1,1],[1,1,-1],[1,0,-1],[1,-1,-1]]);

Actually, via lifting to the standard paraboloid, Voronoi diagrams are derived from Polytope. That's why they have VERTICES, FACETS, and such.
