Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Hi there, very new here, but having fun already.

Is there a way to set a given number of points in grasshopper (that could then be assigned to be circles, squares, whatever) randomly within a space?

Say I define a square of 1000x1000 units, and I want 100 points randomly placed within that square.

If that makes any sense, could you be so kind to point me in the right direction of how I might get started?

Thanks all.

I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for.

Thank you. Just by looking at the jpeg, it appears to be way over my head, but I might as well give it a shot at understanding it. But yes, the effect is what I was thinking of.

Are the A B C and D in the box corners component defining the space that the points are being plotted inside of?

Thanks again,

Here's a shorter way of doing it:

* In the expression editor of the N input type "N*2"
another way,

just draw surface in rhino and set it "Srf" component on a left hand side.

Thanks so much everyone.

Raul, that one makes quite a bit of sense to me surprisingly. Although admittedly, I have no clue what the purpose of the Item (list item) component is doing exactly.
if u have an array (points in your case) then every element has index and value.

point[index]=value

point[1]
point[2]
point[3]
point[...]
point[n]

Item (list item) takes all points and selects particular point according to index what is generated randomly and does that as many times as u generate random numbers
Hi, Can anyone let me know from where i can download the latest GH version,..??
