    Points on a sphere

    Does anyone know how to calculate the longitude and latitude of n points on a sphere so that euclidean distance between each point to its nearest neighbours is maximized and equal?

    Any assistance given, greatly appreciated.

    I am not quite sure as to what you ask, but an obvious answer would be a regular solid. ()
