```
public RandomPointsInGridBuilder()
```
    Create a builder which will create shapes using the default GeometryFactory.
  - RandomPointsInGridBuilder
```
public RandomPointsInGridBuilder(GeometryFactory geomFact)
```
    Create a builder which will create shapes using the given GeometryFactory.
    
    Parameters:
    
    geomFact - the factory to use
- Method Detail
  - setConstrainedToCircle
```
public void setConstrainedToCircle(boolean isConstrainedToCircle)
```
    Sets whether generated points are constrained to lie within a circle contained within each grid cell. This provides greater separation between points in adjacent cells.
    The default is to not be constrained to a circle.
    
    Parameters:
    
    isConstrainedToCircle -
  - setGutterFraction
```
public void setGutterFraction(double gutterFraction)
```
    Sets the fraction of the grid cell side which will be treated as a gutter, in which no points will be created. The provided value is clamped to the range [0.0, 1.0].
    
    Parameters:
    
    gutterFraction -
  - getGeometry
```
public Geometry getGeometry()
```
    Gets the MultiPoint containing the generated point
    
    Specified by:
    
    getGeometry in class GeometricShapeBuilder
    
    Returns:
    
    a MultiPoint
