Thomas process individual distribution simulation for one species

Description

Usually used internally inside sim_thomas_coords This function randomly draws points (individuals) around one or several mother points using Rcpp. The function is an efficient re-implementation of the rThomas function from the spatstat package.

Arguments

`n_points`	The total number of points (individuals).
`n_mother_points`	Number of mother points (= cluster centres).
`xmother`	Vector of `n_mother_points` x coordinates for the mother points.
`ymother`	Vector of `n_mother_points` y coordinates for the mother points.
`sigma`	Mean displacement (along each coordinate axes) of a point from its mother point (= cluster centre).
`xmin`	Left limit, `default`=0.
`xmax`	Right limit, `default`=1.
`ymin`	Bottom limit, `default`=0.
`ymax`	Top limit, `default`=1.
