piecewise linear random distribution

available since version: 0.4

---

information

Produces random floating-point numbers, which are distributed according to a linear probability density function within each of the several subintervals [b0, b1) Linear segments specified as: bound0, prob0, bound1, prob1, etc Use @seed property to get reproducible sequences. If @seed property was not explicitly set or specified, uses generator initialized with current time.

arguments:

• V interleaved interval boundaries and boundary propabilities. Note: number of arguments should be even and >=4. Boundaries should be in strictly increasing order and weights should be non-negative
  type: list
  

properties:

• @v Get/set interleaved interval boundaries and boundary propabilities. For example: values 0 0 0.5 0 1 0 produce triangle distribution
  type: list
  

• @bounds (readonly) Get list of boundaries
  type: list
  

• @weights (readonly) Get list of weights
  type: list
  

• @seed Get/set generator seed
  type: int
  min value: 0
  default: 0
  

inlets:

• generates random number
  type: control

outlets:

• result value
  type: control
