1. A system for providing textile designs utilizing Voronoi diagrams, the system comprising:
one or more processors; and
a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing computer-readable instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
generating a plurality of seed points in a graphic area;
propagating a Voronoi diagram within the graphic area based upon the seed points and, wherein the Voronoi diagram includes a plurality of cells;
receiving a first user input via a user interface defining a design area with a plurality of boundaries within the graphic area, wherein the design area comprises a sub-set of the plurality of cells;
adjusting the cells based, at least in part, on a second user input causing relocation of one or more of the seed points in the design area;
correlating the design area to a textile segment; and
generating a textile design, using one or more computing devices, by replicating the cells of the design area.
