R help - Feb 2010 - Bivariate Uniform distribution

Hi all,
   Is  there a function in R to calculate the probability, or quantile, or
generate random numbers,  and so on for
bivariate uniform distribution, like for the bivariate normal distribution?
   Thanks!

Hannah,

It might help to know what you are trying to do, so that better advice can be
given.  A bivariate uniform distribution is simply pairs of uniform random
numbers. The density is constant, so it is easy to get to the other quantities
that you want based on that.  So what is it that you are actually wanting to do?
