Hello Scott,
This is exactly the kind of distribution I want. You solved my problem and you
managed to make a piece of art in the process. You are so clever!!
Thanks and cheers,
Roger

problem. I now have enough to keep me out of your hair for months!!
Thanks and cheers,

I suspect this is easy, but I'm not coming up with anything. Can anyone
tell me how to get weighted random numbers in LC? Say I want to position
something on the screen randomly but favor the center of the screen. Any
ideas?
Hi Walt,
This works perfectly! I'll add it to the other methods I've received for
evaluation.
Thanks and cheers,
Roger

Thanks for this, Dr. Hawkins. I suspect my distribution is Gaussian, but I may
not need to be precise. I'm evaluating all the great suggestions I've received
on this.
Thanks again,

There may be a better mathematical method, but I suppose I would start
with the loc of the screen and add some small random offsets to the loc.
Then at random times when the loc is calculated, I would add some major
offsets to the center loc. In this way, the center loc is always favored.

Thanks, Scott. I'm not sure I follow what you're saying, so let me expand on
what I'm trying to do: I want a number (25 to 200) of objects randomly
positioned on the stack/window but favoring the center of the stack/window.
Would your described method do this for me? Sorry for being slow...

A simple method might be:
1. Select a random number between 25 and 200
2. Select a random number between 25 and the random number selected in
step 1.
This should result with the median of the numbers closer to 25 than 200. You
could repeat step 3 again if you want to
