I call them "fake" in that the results do look like Voronoi diagrams, but there's not much else you can do with them. To use my first example, VoronoiMesh[]
is certainly easier to do stuff with than the fake I made with DensityPlot[]
.
In an e-mail, Christopher Wolfram suggested that one might be able to use WatershedComponents[]
on the resulting pictures, but I have yet to do those experiments.
Regarding the example with multiple objects that you mention, I did something like that in this mathematica.SE answer.
