bg_sph_sample()

size_t bg_sph_sample	(	point_t *	pnts,
		size_t	cnt,
		const point_t	center,
		const fastf_t	radius,
		bn_numgen	n
	)

Routines for the generation of pseudo-random and quasi-random points.

Generate points on a sphere per Marsaglia (1972).

The return code is the number of points generated.

The user is responsible for selecting the numerical generator used to supply pseudo or quasi-random numbers to bg_sph_sample - different types of inputs may be needed depending on the application.
