[postgis-users] Evenly distributing a point set

[Rémi Cura]

Hey,
it is unclear what you want and how your data looks like.
For better answer it would be good to have better info.

Maybe a screen of your data, some facts, for what usage (admissible error,
expected quality ..) etc etc.

What you are trying to do (reconstruct a network from sampled pieces) is in
general a complicated problem.
It may be simpler depending on your data and hypothesis.

Cheers,
Rémi-C
