I'll try!

The halton macro returns a number from 0..1, and halton2D() returns a vector
where the X is 0..1, Y is 0..1 and the Z = 0.

You call halton2D() with an incrementing integer, so it works best in a loop.

If you had a macro called PlaceTree(), you could loop through values from
halton2D calling the tree macro like this:

#declare n = 1;
#while( n < number_of_trees_wanted )
  #declare position = halton2D( n );
  // position is <0..1, 0..1, 0> - scale the vector here
  // to the size you need for PlaceTree
  PlaceTree( position )
  #declare n = n + 1;
#end

Does my explanation make sense?

Cheers,
Edouard.
