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 num-
       ber  generator  across  all languages supported	by PLplot. This is particularly useful for comparing results  from the test suite of exam-
       ples.

       Redacted form: plrandd()

       This function is used in examples 17,21.
