NAME¶
plrandd - Random number generator returning a real random number in the
range [0,1].
SYNOPSIS¶
plrandd()
DESCRIPTION¶
Random number generator returning a real random number in the range [0,1]. The
generator is based on the Mersenne Twister. Most languages / compilers provide
their own random number generator, and so this is provided purely for
convenience and to give a consistent random number generator across all
languages supported by PLplot. This is particularly useful for comparing
results from the test suite of examples.
Redacted form:
plrandd()
This function is used in examples 17,21.
