Question about point clouds

Hey yah 

I'm new to grasshopper and i'm using point clouds to make objects. 

i'm wondering if there is another component i could use instead of the random component to generate a point cloud? 

i just want to have more control over where the points go rather than random placements. 

thanks

(below is a picture of the code i'm ussing

The Populate components place points in a non-random fashion (somewhat akin to poisson sampling).

However "more control" is a pretty fuzzy demand. More control how? Do you want to position points randomly but with different densities in different regions? If so, how do you delineate these regions?

Do you want to position points randomly but then move them around to achieve different densities?

Do you want to position points randomly and then remove x% based on their position?
