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.
