random selection
« on: September 29, 2010, 05:27:47 AM »
Hello everybody,
Is it possible to make a random selection? let's say i have a drawing with all entities possible to be in a 2d drawing, and i want to select 10% from all entity, but randomly? Maybe to have an option to give the percentage of a random selection?
Thanks!

I think that would be possible:
1. select all elements in the drawing
2. use a random number and ssname to select an element from the set
3. Add this element to a new set
3. repeat until (= (sslength newSet)  (/ (sslength originalSet) 10))

But what would be the practical use of such a function?

Spot check for standards compliance, maybe?
