Infinite Random Rectangles – the Poisson Rect process

Previously, we looked at how to sample points randomly at a given density across an infinite plane.

It’s harder than it sounds, as I was looking for an algorithm that was not biased by the size/shape of the chunks used to calculate it.

Today let’s extend that to filling the infinite plane with random non-overlapping rectangles. As before, that means finding a deterministic chunked algorithm that we can prove is unaffected by the choice of chunking.
