Thread Subject: distribution of random points on sphere surface

hi everyone,

could anyone help me out for sorting this problem.im newbie to this matlab.i generated a sphere with cartesian co-ordinates and then i used 'scatter3' to display as points of sphere. i want to display some more points on the east and west side of sphere (i.e)more points on sides and not on poles..how to display more points??

plz help me out...

--------------------------------
So just generate some more points. I don't know how you're doing it
(maybe you can post simplified code) but can't you bias your equations
somehow to give you more that are distributed like you want?
