I don't think these two are contracted meaningfully enough. I don't
see why Scattered is not Uniform and vice versa. Perhaps it's better
to use "Bell-shaped" or "Concentrated" to reflect the non-uniformity
of the second option.

In fact I don't know if you took time to test it deeply, but in "Gaussian" repartition, on a diameter, the Bell shape is not necesseraly centered, it is only if the "Mean" is set to 0. Indeed if you put it at 50, you have a ring shape when you spray. At 0, the spray shape is a spot.

This sounds confusing: how "Radius" is different from "Width"? What
other terms can be used here? Maybe "Concentration"?

Yes this is the more ambiguous parameter. Because of the way the gaussian works. Width is the global width of the sprayed pattern. This parameters visiallu seam to control the radius of the ring. Again, at 0 it is a spot. "Ring Focus" could be good too.

What is this? Can you also suggest tooltips for your widgets?

This will determine if the sprayed objects are more or less bound to stay close to the ring. As Josh proposed, maybe Scatter is more suitable.

Other than that, it's a step in a good direction. Thanks!

I will tackle this soon, and we will adjust some terms after.
Thanks for your comments
