Random points inside a parallelogram

Question

I have a 4 side convex Polygon defined by 4 points in 2D, and I want to be able to generate random points inside it.

If it really simplifies the problem, I can limit

Answer 1

A somewhat less "naïve" approach would be to use a polygon fill algorithm, and then select points from the fill lines randomly.

C Code Sample

//  public-domain code by Darel Rex Finley, 2007

int  nodes, nodeX[MAX_POLY_CORNERS], pixelX, pixelY, i, j, swap ;

//  Loop through the rows of the image.
for (pixelY=IMAGE_TOP; pixelY=(double) pixelY
    ||  polyY[j]<(double) pixelY && polyY[i]>=(double) pixelY) {
      nodeX[nodes++]=(int) (polyX[i]+(pixelY-polyY[i])/(polyY[j]-polyY[i])
      *(polyX[j]-polyX[i])); }
    j=i; }

  //  Sort the nodes, via a simple “Bubble” sort.
  i=0;
  while (inodeX[i+1]) {
      swap=nodeX[i]; nodeX[i]=nodeX[i+1]; nodeX[i+1]=swap; if (i) i--; }
    else {
      i++; }}

  //  Fill the pixels between node pairs.

  //  The flagPixel method below will flag a pixel as a possible choice.
  for (i=0; i=IMAGE_RIGHT) break;
    if   (nodeX[i+1]> IMAGE_LEFT ) {
      if (nodeX[i  ]< IMAGE_LEFT ) nodeX[i  ]=IMAGE_LEFT ;
      if (nodeX[i+1]> IMAGE_RIGHT) nodeX[i+1]=IMAGE_RIGHT;
      for (j=nodeX[i]; j
