This question can be perfectly answered (create random point within the bounds of a rect). – CodeSmile Oct 21 '11 at 20:35

You should generate 2 random values that lie in range of your rect.
Eg. a rect like this (100,50,300,200) will require you to get an x-value between 0 and 300 (your width) and then add 100 to it (your origin). Same will be required for y-value, get a random value between 0 and 200 (height) and add 50 (origin) to it.
