r.surf.random - Produces a raster surface map of uniform random deviates with defined range.
Contents
Description
r.surf.random produces a raster map layer of uniform random deviates whose range can be expressed by the
user. It is essentially the same as r.surf.gauss, but uses a linear random number generator instead. It
uses the random number generator drand48() or rand(), depending on the user’s platform.
Example
g.region -p n=228500 s=215000 w=630000 e=645000 res=10
r.surf.random out=random min=0 max=100
# check result
r.univar random

With the histogram tool the cell values versus count can be shown.
