Random planting design plugin idea / question

unearthed

Hi all and happy new year

While English IS my language Maths is not so please excuse my bumbling...

Would it be possible to use a spatial poisson-point random01 process (above) to generate semi-random, mixed plant size, mass planting plans within a defined (but irregular) shape?

In my ideal world the user would (1) define an enclosing (most likely irregular) shape

2 - Enter a series of circles of different diameters representing plants (preferably as components).

3 - Enter an area coverage ratio for each plant (ie percent of shape area allocated to that species)

4 - Enter a figure for repulsion to stop plants' circles overlapping each others' stems/centres and/or to vary plant density (see randomForest.jpg).

The circle diameters and coverage rations could be premade in a txt file.

I'd be happy if it was possible at first to generate a random set of points in a shape, that alone would help enormously. I'd also be happy to pay someone to write this if they thought it possible

Not exactly what you want but the result will be the same!
