Review Test
A standard problem in natural resources is computing the location of random points to sample in an area.
1. Write the code to create a CSV with N points randomly placed in an area specified by a rectangle.
2. Extensions:
- Make sure the points fall within the area of a polygon (i.e. a shapefile)
- Create a tool in ArcGIS that computes the random points based on a selected shapefile
- Make the points be stratified based on an attribute of the features
- Set this up as a batch process to find M CSVs files based on M shapefiles.
