Random

Base.rand — Method

rand([rng], G, crs=Cartesian3D)

Generate a random geometry of type G with CRS crs, optionally passing a random number generator rng.

Examples

rand(Point)
rand(Triangle)
rand(Point, crs=Cartesian2D)
rand(Triangle, crs=LatLon)

Base.rand — Method

rand([rng], G, n, crs=Cartesian3D)

Generate a vector of n random geometries of type G with CRS crs, optionally passing a random number generator rng.

Examples

rand(Point, 10)
rand(Triangle, 10)
rand(Point, 10, crs=Cartesian2D)
rand(Triangle, 10, crs=LatLon)

Random geometries can be generated using the rand function:

rand(Point)

Point with Cartesian{NoDatum} coordinates
├─ x: 0.9731653062426764 m
├─ y: 0.522766202710838 m
└─ z: 0.666231191847445 m

By default, the rand function uses the Cartesian3D CRS (Coordinate Reference System). It's possible to change the CRS using the crs keyword argument:

rand(Point, crs=Cartesian2D)

Point with Cartesian{NoDatum} coordinates
├─ x: 0.7867904002413689 m
└─ y: 0.1430295772192437 m

A vector of geometries can be generated by passing the number of elements as the second argument:

rand(Segment, 5, crs=LatLon)

5-element Vector{Segment{🌐, CoordRefSystems.GeodeticLatLon{CoordRefSystems.WGS84Latest, Unitful.Quantity{Float64, NoDims, Unitful.FreeUnits{(°,), NoDims, nothing}}}}}:
 Segment((lat: -30.9727°, lon: -34.9521°), (lat: 43.8816°, lon: 178.337°))
 Segment((lat: -44.2937°, lon: -107.164°), (lat: 7.33821°, lon: -119.883°))
 Segment((lat: 63.2163°, lon: 60.1105°), (lat: -67.3832°, lon: 122.029°))
 Segment((lat: -48.5323°, lon: 13.3931°), (lat: 69.6707°, lon: -63.3891°))
 Segment((lat: -89.9341°, lon: 47.3894°), (lat: -71.1695°, lon: -46.7624°))

For reproducibility purposes, a random number generator can be passed as the first argument in both methods:

rng = MersenneTwister(123)
rand(rng, Triangle)

Triangle
├─ Point(x: 0.37453777969575874 m, y: 0.8735343642013971 m, z: 0.29012488666251546 m)
├─ Point(x: 0.3368408330598551 m, y: 0.6622706870716968 m, z: 0.7763361853035142 m)
