SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

13       Random number generator returning a real random number  in  the   range
14       [0,1].  The generator is based on the Mersenne Twister.  Most languages
15       / compilers provide their own random number generator,  and so this  is
16       provided  purely for convenience and to give a consistent random number
17       generator across all languages supported  by PLplot. This  is  particu‐
18       larly useful for comparing results  from the test suite of examples.
