Synopsis

randstate string

randstate is NOT undoable, NOT queryable, and NOT editable.

The command returns the "state" of the random stream named by the string argument. This state information comprises a set of numbers which can be used by an external process (for example, a user-written plug-in) to emulate the random number sequence which is generated by MEL's random number functions.
