[R-sig-Geo] offsetting overlapping points

[Paul Lantos]

Hi,

 I have a point dataset in which some points overlap. I'd like to find a way to randomly offset these points within a certain tolerance so that none perfectly overlap. I can't find a way to do this within ArcGIS. I'd like to find a way to either impose a grid and randomize all points that fall in each grid cell, or specify a tolerance (i.e. offset each point randomly by a certain number of map distance units and not allow both x and y to be identical for any one point).


Thanks!

Paul
