Random_points_on_segment_2 (const Point_2 &p, const Point_2 &q, Random &rnd=get_default_random())
creates an input iterator g generating points of type Point_2 uniformly distributed on the segment from $$p$$ to $$q$$ (excluding $$q$$), i.e. $$*g == (1-\lambda)\, p + \lambda q$$ where $$0 \le\lambda< 1$$. More...

## ◆ Random_points_on_segment_2()

template<typename Point_2, typename Creator>
 CGAL::Random_points_on_segment_2< Point_2, Creator >::Random_points_on_segment_2 ( const Point_2 & p, const Point_2 & q, Random & rnd = get_default_random() )

creates an input iterator g generating points of type Point_2 uniformly distributed on the segment from $$p$$ to $$q$$ (excluding $$q$$), i.e. $$*g == (1-\lambda)\, p + \lambda q$$ where $$0 \le\lambda< 1$$.

A single random number is needed from rnd for each point. The expressions to_double(p.x()) and to_double(p.y()) must result in the respective double representation of the coordinates of $$p$$, and similarly for $$q$$.
