Generates a pointset and save it in an OFF file. Command-line is:

```
off_file_from_shape_generator on|in sphere|cube|curve|torus|klein <filename> <num_points> <dimension> <parameter1> <parameter2>...
```

Warning: "on cube" generator is not available!

**Examples**

```
off_file_from_shape_generator on sphere onSphere.off 1000 3 15.2
```

* Generates an onSphere.off file with 1000 points randomized on a sphere of dimension 3 and radius 15.2.

```
off_file_from_shape_generator in sphere inSphere.off 100 2
```

* Generates an inSphere.off file with 100 points randomized in a sphere of dimension 2 (circle) and radius 1.0 (default).

```
off_file_from_shape_generator in cube inCube.off 10000 3 5.8
