Setting the random seed (and allowing a change) seems reasonable. I would want feedback from the people who originated this code - some of whom I think are not as active with Sage any more, though. > (Having re-read the docs it looks like I should have added > adaptive_recursion=0, not just randomize=False.) Not necessarily, but if you only want the points you choose, then yes.
Though of course this is all a little OT to the current thread, and definitely pretty low on the priority list, I assume. Good to think about, though. - kcrisman -- To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org
