[ncl-talk] Voronoi on sphere example - csvoro

[Rick Brownrigg]

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is your question or not, but rand will always produce
the same sequence with a given seed -- in your case since none is
specified, its some default value.  If you want different sequences across
successive runs, you might set the seed based upon the clock; e.g., this on
a linux system:

   ; call this before any calls to rand()
   srand(stringtoint(systemfunc("date +%s")))


Hope that helps...please write back to this list if not.
Rick
