Re: Random repeat?

Thanks Eckhart!

But where in the graphics should I put the "randomseed" info?

the following won't work, halting the compile operation at the mention of
randomseed:

\startreusableMPgraphic{omcirkeld}
   draw fulldiamond xyscaled (OverlayWidth,OverlayHeight)
   randomseed:=2022
     randomized (30*OverlayLineWidth)
     withpen pencircle scaled OverlayLineWidth
     withcolor OverlayLineColor ;
  path b ; b := boundingbox currentpicture ;
  setbounds currentpicture to b enlarged 10pt ;
\stopreusableMPgraphic
