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: 0.9679262273253348 m
├─ y: 0.8202364487215603 m
└─ z: 0.6342476989731285 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: 0.4115075300249337 m
└─ y: 0.05978971776200648 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: -77.6826°, lon: 143.195°), (lat: -86.4002°, lon: 92.5784°))
 Segment((lat: -63.6707°, lon: 18.7606°), (lat: -0.289119°, lon: 162.983°))
 Segment((lat: 42.5563°, lon: -105.173°), (lat: 74.3713°, lon: 9.26788°))
 Segment((lat: 35.6027°, lon: -170.556°), (lat: 89.8632°, lon: 98.1605°))
 Segment((lat: -28.2921°, lon: 33.9265°), (lat: -20.3601°, lon: 1.57343°))

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

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

Triangle
├─ Point(x: 0.521213795535383 m, y: 0.5868067574533484 m, z: 0.8908786980927811 m)
├─ Point(x: 0.19090669902576285 m, y: 0.5256623915420473 m, z: 0.3905882754313441 m)
└─ Point(x: 0.044818005017491114 m, y: 0.933353287277165 m, z: 0.5805599818745412 m)

rand(rng, Triangle, 5)
