<p><a class="link" href="libgwyddion-GwyRandGenSet.html#GwyRandGenSet" title="GwyRandGenSet"><span class="type">GwyRandGenSet</span></a> represents a set of pseudoradnom number generators
initialised together, but each producing a different sequence of numbers.
This is useful when you use pseudorandom number generators to optionally
randomize several different things. Using a common generator would require
always generating exactly the same number of random numbers, even for
quantities you do not want randomized, in order to keep the random number
sequences stable.</p>
<p><a class="link" href="libgwyddion-GwyRandGenSet.html#GwyRandGenSet" title="GwyRandGenSet"><span class="type">GwyRandGenSet</span></a> also provides functions sample a few common distributions
such as Gaussian or exponential. It should be noted that the individual
sampling functions may advance the generator state differently. This means</p>

<p>The generator can be used to produce random numbers in any way for which you
find the provided methods insufficient. However, if you reseed it manually,
number sequence stability will be broken because sampling functions may keep
persistent information between calls.</p>
