even point distribution

Hey guys, is there anyone who can help me write this as a VB or C script? I'm trying to distribute points evenly in a given space. I think the step i'm trying to envision would go something like this.

.random points are created in a given domain

.then the script would recognize a area with lower point counts

.then the script would add points to that area

and maybe some way to control the threshold of points in a given area?

*if anyone could help me with this, would be great. thank you.

Hi Nay,

here are some popular approaches:

Create a random point distribution, then, for each point, find the nearest neighbours and move it away from those. This will 'smooth' the point-set.
Create a random point distribution, convert it to a voronoi diagram, then move each point to the center of its cell.
Insert points in a non-random way. For example, slowly build a delaunay mesh from your points and always insert a new point in the middle of the largest triangle. Or, create N random points then pick the one that is furthest from all existing points.
