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 and 21.
