Keep in mind that the change of coordinates introduces a distortion;
"dxdy"
becomes in polar coordinates "rdrdtheta". So if you wanted a uniform
distribution on the disk you could generate theta uniform on [0,2pi] and r
from a distribution with density f(r)=2r on [0,1].

Do you mean random data?
Generate polar coordinates (angle in range 0..2pi, radius in range 0..1)
and convert.
