%  Parameters:
%
%    Input, integer DIM_NUM, the dimension of the space, which must be 2.
%
%    Input, integer N, the number of points.
%
%    Input/output, integer SEED, a seed for the random number generator.
%
%    Output, real X(DIM_NUM,N), the points.
%

%
%  The angle varies uniformly from 0 to 2 pi.

%
%  The radius is normally distributed.
