This fact can be proved by observation that distributions of all coordinates are independent on each other. For example for 3D-sphere really uniform distribution is given by Euler angles (x, arcsin(2t - 1)), where x is uniformly distributed random value on [0..2*pi]. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=107586&aid=1110443&group_id=7586 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.
