[Boost-users] boost random in 2 dimensions

I am trying to use a boost random generator to make random points uniformly
distributed over a plane surface. In the the following link, the code for
doing it in a single dimension is available:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2254909/boost-random-number-generator

Here they use boost::uniform_int<> to generate numbers as int in a single
dimension.

But in my case I wish to generate numbers as float in two dimensions over a
plane.

Is there any distribution type available to use it in two dimensions? (I
have seen boost::uniform_on_sphere, but it is for spherical surfaces.)

Is it possible to to this using boost library?
