In the present paper we discuss the properties of Voronoi polygons in several monatomic glass-forming systems and compare them with those of the Kob-Andersen mixture. We show that two mechanisms of glass formation are possible: smearing of Voronoi polygons or formation of polygons of two different shapes. Both mechanisms lead to disturbance of the crystalline order in the system and glass transition.
