I assume that you are refering to a 2-d mask. You might want to look
at Section 14.7 of "Numerical Recipes" titled "Do Two-Dimensional
Distributions differ?", which provides code for the 2-d K-S test.
Their example model function (quadv1) is a uniform 2-d random
distribution. Unfortunately, I am not aware of an IDL
implementations of this code. (Also check the bug fix at low number
counts given in
http://www.numerical-recipes.com/forum/showthread.php?t=576).

You could also just test the 1-d distributions of X and Y for
randomness, for example, by using the ksone.pro procedure at
http://idlastro.gsfc.nasa.gov/ftp/pro/math/. But this will not rule
out any non-random correlation between X and Y. --Wayne
