I am looking for any references or pointers on the following problem:

Given N points, how can they be distributed over a given bounded plane/surface
such that the distribution is fairly uniform, and no two points are closer than
a certain given amount.

For example, given a L shaped polygon, how to distribute 50 points on it, such
that no two points are less than delta distance from each other.

thanks,


sanjay.
