// TRandom
//
// basic Random number generator class (periodicity = 10**8).
//
// The following basic Random generators are provided:
// ===================================================
// -Exp(tau)
// -Integer(imax)
// -Gaus(mean,sigma)
// -Rndm()
// -Uniform(x1)
// -Landau(mean,sigma)
// -Poisson(mean)
// -Binomial(ntot,prob)
//
// Random numbers distributed according to 1-d, 2-d or 3-d distributions
// =====================================================================
// contained in TF1, TF2 or TF3 objects.
// For example, to get a random number distributed following abs(sin(x)/x)*sqrt(x)
// you can do:
// TF1 *f1 = new TF1("f1","abs(sin(x)/x)*sqrt(x)",0,10);
// float r = f1->GetRandom();
// The technique of using a TF1,2 or 3 function is very powerful.
// It is also more precise than using the basic functions (except Rndm).
// With a TF1 function, for example, the real integral of the function
// is correctly calculated in the specified range of the function.
// Getting a number from a TF1 function is also very fast.
// The following table shows some timings (in microsecons/call)
// for basic functions and TF1 functions.
// The left column is with the compiler, the right column with CINT.
// Numbers have been obtained on a Pentium 233Mhz running Linux.
//
// g++ CINT
// Rndm.............. 0.330 4.15
// Gaus.............. 2.220 6.77
// Landau............ 21.590 46.82
// Binomial(5,0.5)... 0.890 5.34
// Binomial(15,0.5).. 0.920 5.36
// Poisson(3)........ 2.170 5.93
// Poisson(10)....... 4.160 7.95
// Poisson(70)....... 21.510 25.27
// Poisson(100)...... 2.910 6.72
// GausTF1........... 2.070 4.73
// LandauTF1......... 2.100 4.73
//
// Note that the time to generate a number from an arbitrary TF1 function
// is independent of the complexity of the function.
// For Landau distribution, it is recommended to use the TF1 technique.
//
// TH1::FillRandom(TH1 *) or TH1::FillRandom(const char *tf1name)
// ==============================================================
// can be used to fill an histogram (1-d, 2-d, 3-d from an existing histogram
// or from an existing function.
//
// Note this interesting feature when working with objects
// =======================================================
// You can use several TRandom objects, each with their "independent"
// random sequence. For example, one can imagine
// TRandom *eventGenerator = new TRandom();
// TRandom *tracking = new TRandom();
// eventGenerator can be used to generate the event kinematics.
// tracking can be used to track the generated particles with random numbers
// independent from eventGenerator.
// This very interesting feature gives the possibility to work with simple
// and very fast random number generators without worrying about
// random number periodicity as it was the case with Fortran.
// One can use TRandom::SetSeed to modify the seed of one generator.
//
// a TRandom object may be written to a Root file
// ==============================================
// -as part of another object
// -or with its own key (example gRandom->Write("Random");
//
// The small program below has been used to get the values in the table above.
