+
+```
+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).
