generate points module

This module lets you draw shapes and generate random points inside.

random_points(region, color='00FFFF', points=100, seed=0)

Generates a specified number of random points inside a given area. !!! args "region(feature): region to generate points" color(color code): default is red, I think points(numeric): how many points do you want? Default is 100 seed:(numeric): default is 0 Returns: a feature collection of locations
