=============================

Poisson disk & Vogel disk points generator in a single file header-only C++11 library.

Usage example:

#define POISSON_PROGRESS_INDICATOR 1
#include "PoissonGenerator.h"
...
PoissonGenerator::DefaultPRNG PRNG;
const auto Points = PoissonGenerator::generatePoissonPoints( numPoints, PRNG );
...
const auto Points = PoissonGenerator::generateVogelPoints( numPoints );
...
const auto Points = PoissonGenerator::generateJitteredGridPoints( numPoints, PRNG );
...
const auto Points = PoissonGenerator::generateHammersleyPoints( numPoints );

Build instructions:

Linux/OSX: gcc Poisson.cpp -std=c++17 -lstdc++

Windows: cmake -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64

Demo app usage:

Poisson [density-map-rgb24.bmp] [--raw-points] [--num-points=<value>] [--square] [--vogel-disk | --jittered-grid]

Algorithm description can be found in "Fast Poisson Disk Sampling in Arbitrary Dimensions" http://people.cs.ubc.ca/~rbridson/docs/bridson-siggraph07-poissondisk.pdf

Implementation is based on http://devmag.org.za/2009/05/03/poisson-disk-sampling/
