With Lua\TeX\ all random numbers are build with the help of Lua which has the advantage that there will be no problem with \TeX's limited parameter stack size. However, this package will \emph{not} run with other \TeX-engines than Lua\LaTeX. \section{The Macros} \begin{BDef} \Lcs{makeSimpleRandomNumberList}\Largb{Left}\Largb{Right}\Largb{N}\% multiple values possible\\ \Lcs{makeRandomNumberList}\Largb{Left}\Largb{Right}\Largb{N} \% no multiple values!\\ \Lcs{getNumberFromList}\Largb{number} \end{BDef} The list of the random numbers is saved in the Lua table \texttt{RandomNumbers}. \section{Examples} \begin{LTXexample}[pos=t] \small \makeSimpleRandomNumberList{1}{30}{30}% with multiple values (hopefully ;-) \multido{\iA=1+1}{30}{\getNumberFromList{\iA}, } \makeRandomNumberList{1}{30}{30}% without multiple values \multido{\iA=1+1}{30}{\getNumberFromList{\iA}, } \end{LTXexample} The following example uses PSTricks related packages which cannot be run directly with Lua\LaTeX. The package \LPack{auto-pst-pdf-lua} will convert the PSTricks stuff in the baclground into PDF images which will be included in a second run. \begin{LTXexample}[pos=t] \newcounter{RandNo}\setcounter{RandNo}{1} \def\n{10} \def\N{\the\numexpr\n*\n} \makeRandomNumberList{1}{\N}{\N} \begin{pspicture}(\n,\n) \psgrid[subgriddiv=0,gridlabels=0pt] \multido{\rRow=0.5+1.0}{\n}{\multido{\rCol=0.5+1.0}{\n}{% \rput(\rCol,\rRow){\textcolor{randomhsb}{\getNumberFromList{\theRandNo}}}% \stepcounter{RandNo}}} \end{pspicture} \end{LTXexample} \section{The code} \lstinputlisting{luarandom.sty} \printindex \end{document}
