RandomNumberGenerator Class Reference

Detailed Description

Random number generator.

This class encapsulates the C++11 random number generation classes for uniform and gaussian (aka normal) distributions as well as their seed. This class guarantees that whenever its seed is reset so are its uniform and normal random number generators.
