Generating Random Points
Occasionally, you may come across the need to generate random points. (This tends to be more common in training and testing than actual production environments).
When generating random points, you can specify the number of points and the range of the points along each of the three axis directions. The points will be randomly created inside this defined box. The 6-sigma Gaussian filter check boxes allow for a normal distribution to be added along any of the selected axes.
To Construct a Random Layout of Points:
-
From the menu, select Construct>Points>Layout>Random Points or use the default keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Z.
-
The Random Point Generator dialog will appear. Specify the number and range of point coordinates as well as the desired group name.
