| 22:13.32 | brlcad | starseeker: I was thinking that the randomness would be defined by the sample method -- e.g., if it used bn_randmt internally, then you could call bn_randmt's seed function to reproduce a given sequence of colors |

| 22:15.25 | brlcad | is there really a use case that really begs for custom random number generators? I was aiming for API simplicity over flexibility (note there's not even a way to specify h/s/v parameters -- they're embedded into predefined methods we find useful) |
| 22:17.32 | brlcad | if we need more flexibility, I'd use a different API pattern -- instead of optional args that might rarely get used, I'd make it context-based where you specify parameters and "evaluate/compile/commit" the context |
| 22:18.01 | brlcad | I can write up what those same examples might look like with that pattern this weekend |
