rCluster: Generates random points by a clustering process

In gregorp/rlandscape: Generates random landscapes with specifiable spatial characteristics

Description

Used by makePoints, similar to a Thomas clustering method but with less randomness. Chooses an appropriate number of parent locations randomly Assigns children in terms of their deviations from parent coordinates Assigns each child to a parent as uniform multinomial distribution Culls children placed outside of bounds

Usage

rCluster(pointsToPlace, n.children, spread = 0.05, hAsp = 1)

Arguments

pointsToPlace	the number of points to be returned
n.children	number of points per cluster
spread	standard deviation of distance from parents to children
hAsp	horizontal to vertical aspect ratio of window.

Value

list of x and y coordinates
