How can I choose a point from a uniform distribution within a regular polygon? Suppose I have a regular polygon in the Cartesian plane, centered at the origin with circumradius $1$, aligned with one vertex at $(1, 0)$. Given a source of independent, uniformly distributed random variables on $0..1)$, how can I choose a point within the polygon, randomly, with uniform distributio... (more) |
