Script puzzle.. I need a volunteer!

Wonder if anyone has the time to take a look at this? I'm not sure if links are allowed here, but if you google "github illustrator veronoi", one of the scripts:  voronoi_from_selection.jsx

is giving me puzzling results. If I make a simple shape and select all, and run the script. I get veronoi cells as the output, but within each cell is a circle. Wonder if you could reproduce this and perhaps figure out why. This makes what I'm trying to achieve such a headache as to eliminate all these little circles on a complex image would take ages..

Thank you. Here's an example:

If you know the size of the little circles, you may use a script to select them and delete the selected items.

    That has solved it for me..thanks very much !!

    What a script by John Wundes.. 500+ lines of code. 

    If I select all objects less than 9 pixels I can then copy just the lines on to a new layer. Wonderful.

    Thanks again..

    Yes I never thought to search google images for an example. I feel silly now! Maybe I could modify the code such that the circles are not drawn. If I use a simple object I can watch the process and the lines are drawn first with the circles added at the end. Programming is not my best skill, but maybe I can "rem" a line at a time until it stops doing that . Ton that would be my next option..thanks.

    Maybe you can select one of those circles, select Start Global Edit an hit Delete

    Here is an explanation I found...

    a Voronoi diagram is a partition of a plane into regions close to each of a given set of objects. In the simplest case, these objects are just finitely many points in the plane. For each seed there is a corresponding region consisting of all points of the plane closer to that seed than to any other.

     

    It seems that is how the script was built.
