SYNOPSIS

11

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.
