RND, Random, Rand ... are preprogrammed basic function names that
use programming languages to manage the random. They are used to
generate a number or sequence of random numbers between two limit
values set by the programmer.
In this proposal everything is random. The position of the first
point defining the first line of the series. The direction, size
and width of the lines of the sequence proposed. The range of
colours that are used. A RGB random colour is generated, its
complementary is calculated and a range of 2 chromatic values
between one and another is obtained. The number of lines in each
composition is also random. It depends on the skill of the program
user to finish executing the algorithm.
