Not an R question directly, but has anyone got a method for placing a
moderately large number of (near) equi-spaced points on a sphere? I have a
nasty feeling platonic solids are needed for exact solutions and I'm
thinking of samplings involving around 200 - 1000 regularly-spaced points,
Thanks,
Richard Rowe
