CGAL::Random_points_on_sphere_3<Point_3, Creator>

Definition

The class Random_points_on_sphere_3<Point_3, Creator> is an input iterator creating points uniformly distributed on a sphere. The default Creator is Creator_uniform_3<Kernel_traits<P>::Kernel::RT,P>.

Operations

Random_points_on_sphere_3<Point_3, Creator> g ( double r,
Random& rnd = default_random);
g is an input iterator creating points of type Point_3 uniformly distributed on the boundary of a sphere with radius r, i.e. |*g| == r . Two random numbers are needed from rnd for each point.
