PLRANDD(3plplot) PLplot API PLRANDD(3plplot)
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.
