    • The seed is just a way to help the computer simulate randomization. Type anything here - random text, a single number, or even your name! See what happens 😃

    • click the Dice for the computer to suggest a seed

  • Allow the output geometry to scale by +/- a percentage. Set to 0 to get an exact count of points
