PROGRAM:
NAME
rbox - generate point distributions for qhull
SYNOPSIS
Command "rbox" (w/o arguments) lists the options.
DESCRIPTION
rbox generates random or regular points according to the options given, and outputs the
points to stdout. The points are generated in a cube, unless 's' or 'k' option is given.
The format of the output is the following: first line contains the dimension and a
comment, second line contains the number of points, and the following lines contain the
points, one point per line. Points are represented by their coordinate values.
EXAMPLES
rbox 10
10 random points in the unit cube centered at the origin.
rbox 10 s D2
10 random points on a 2‐d circle.
rbox 100 W0
100 random points on the surface of a cube.
rbox 1000 s D4
1000 random points on a 4‐d sphere.
rbox c D5 O0.5
a 5‐d hypercube with one corner at the origin.
rbox d D10
a 10‐d diamond.
rbox x 1000 r W0
100 random points on the surface of a fixed simplex
rbox y D12
a 12‐d simplex.
rbox l 10
10 random points along a spiral
rbox l 10 r
10 regular points along a spiral plus two end points
rbox 1000 L10000 D4 s
1000 random points on the surface of a narrow lens.
rbox c G2 d G3
a cube with coordinates +2/-2 and a diamond with coordinates +3/-3.
rbox 64 M3,4 z
a rotated, {0,1,2,3} x {0,1,2,3} x {0,1,2,3} lattice (Mesh) of integer points.
'rbox 64 M1,0' is orthogonal.
rbox P0 P0 P0 P0 P0
5 copies of the origin in 3-d. Try 'rbox P0 P0 P0 P0 P0 | qhull QJ'.
r 100 s Z1 G0.1
two cospherical 100-gons plus another cospherical point.
100 s Z1
a cone of points.
100 s Z1e-7
a narrow cone of points with many precision errors.
OPTIONS
n number of points
Dn dimension n‐d (default 3‐d)
Bn bounding box coordinates (default 0.5)
l spiral distribution, available only in 3‐d
Ln lens distribution of radius n. May be used with 's', 'r', 'G', and 'W'.
Mn,m,r lattice (Mesh) rotated by {[n,-m,0], [m,n,0], [0,0,r], ...}. Use 'Mm,n' for a
rigid rotation with r = sqrt(n^2+m^2). 'M1,0' is an orthogonal lattice. For
example, '27 M1,0' is {0,1,2} x {0,1,2} x {0,1,2}. '27 M3,4 z' is a rotated integer
lattice.
s cospherical points randomly generated in a cube and projected to the unit sphere
x simplicial distribution. It is fixed for option 'r'. May be used with 'W'.
y simplicial distribution plus a simplex. Both 'x' and 'y' generate the same points.
Wn restrict points to distance n of the surface of a sphere or a cube
c add a unit cube to the output
c Gm add a cube with all combinations of +m and -m to the output
d add a unit diamond to the output.
d Gm add a diamond made of 0, +m and -m to the output
Cn,r,m add n nearly coincident points within radius r of m points
Pn,m,r add point [n,m,r] to the output first. Pad coordinates with 0.0.
n Remove the command line from the first line of output.
On offset the data by adding n to each coordinate.
t use time in seconds as the random number seed (default is command line).
tn set the random number seed to n.
z generate integer coordinates. Use 'Bn' to change the range. The default is 'B1e6'
for six‐digit coordinates. In R^4, seven‐digit coordinates will overflow
hyperplane normalization.
Zn s restrict points to a disk about the z+ axis and the sphere (default Z1.0).
Includes the opposite pole. 'Z1e-6' generates degenerate points under single
precision.
Zn Gm s
same as Zn with an empty center (default G0.5).
r s D2 generate a regular polygon
r s Z1 G0.1
generate a regular cone
