Class lsst::afw::math::Random

class Random

A class that can be used to generate sequences of random numbers according to a number of different algorithms. Support for generating random variates from the uniform, Gaussian, Poisson, and chi-squared distributions is provided.

This class is a thin wrapper for the random number generation facilities of GSL, which supports many additional distributions that can easily be added to this class as the need arises.
