I am trying to use a boost random generator to make random points uniformly distributed over a plane surface. In the the following link, the code for doing it in a single dimension is available:

Is there any distribution type available to use it in two dimensions? (I have seen boost::uniform_on_sphere, but it is for spherical surfaces.)
In case of a plane, what speaks against using two uniformly distributed floats in range [0 1] as UV parameters in your plane? That should give uniformly distributed points in the plane, or am I missing something here? Norbert
