It's not truncated exactly.  If the square was -10 to +10, then any of
the points on the edge would go to infinite distance.

You break the square up into a 10x10 grid and send the midpoint into
the formula.  This means no points actually occur on the edge.

Exactly.  Also, people don't really add colours well in their mind, so
not sure how best to make it clear.

I like the idea of moving the circle of voters and seeing who wins.
