e.g., Random() only returns arrays

ScottPlot/src/ScottPlot5/ScottPlot5/RandomDataGenerator.cs

Lines 28 to 34 in 1a4568c

public double[] Random(int count, double mult = 1, double offset = 0)
{
double[] values = new double[count];
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
values[i] = Rand.NextDouble() * mult + offset;
return values;
}

It would be nice if there were method overloads that returned single numbers:

  • Random()
  • RandomNormal()

While we're in there it may be nice to have

  • RandomColor()
  • RandomOHLC() (pull from RandomDataGeneratorExtensions.cs and delete that file)
