#4304: Add seed parameter to ST_GeneratePoints
-------------------------+---------------------------
 Reporter:  Mike Taves   |      Owner:  pramsey
     Type:  enhancement  |     Status:  new
 Priority:  medium       |  Milestone:  PostGIS 3.0.0
Component:  postgis      |    Version:  trunk
 Keywords:               |
-------------------------+---------------------------
 An idea from #2131 is to modify ST_GeneratePoints to add a `seed`
 parameter to optionally allow reproducible pseudo-random points, i.e.:

     `ST_GeneratePoints(g geometry, npoints numeric, seed numeric DEFAULT
 NULL)`

 One challenging component to this feature request is to ensure that the
 pseudo-random sequence is portable across different OSes/hardware.
