Generates a random number at each pixel location. When using the 'uniform' distribution, outputs are in the range of [0, 1). Using the 'normal' distribution, the outputs have μ=0, σ=1, but no explicit limits.

Argument
Type
Details
seed
Long, default: 0
Seed for the random number generator.
distribution
String, default: "uniform"
