Does any body out there know of any algorithms capable of distributing a
given number of points on a planar/curved surface in a uniform manner, where
uniform could be defined such that no two points are closer than a given value.

The planar/curved surface is bounded and non convex.

For example, given 50 points how does one distribute them on an L shaped
polygon, such that the distribution is fairly uniform.
