Hi,

I don't understand everything about randomDensePack.

What does this code mean? 
"spheres=pack.randomDensePack(pack.inAlignedBox((-.25,-.25,-.5),(.25,.25,.5)),spheresInCell=1000,radius=.01,memoizeDb='/tmp/triaxPackCache.sqlite')
O.bodies.append(spheres)"

I was thinking that meant: we specify the lowest corner and the highest corner of a box (which are here ((-.25,-.25,-.5),(.25,.25,.5))); then we specify that we just want 1000 spheres in that box with a radius of .01.

But I'm wrong. "spheresInCell – if given, the packing will be periodic, with given number of spheres in the periodic cell."
What does that mean ? I can change spheresinCell from 65 to 1000 for example and the number of spheres will be around 2000 anyway.

Thanks !
