[GRASS-user] sampling points in a grid

[Margherita Di Leo]

Hi,

I have a vector of points. According to a regular grid, I need to
(randomly) sample a certain number n of these points in each cell of the
grid. Such number n is given in a column of the attribute table of the
grid. How would you do this?
I have half idea to play with the coordinates and Monte Carlo, but I have
the feeling that I'm not thinking GIS and there must be a easier way.

Thank you for any hint
