2D Random Point Generator
Use true randomness from atmospheric noise to place points randomly in a 2D box and draw lines between them.
Today, we're launching a new randomizer that lets you place points randomly on a 2D canvas and draw lines between them. We made it on request for artist David Row (davidrow.com), but weβre sharing it with everyone. Enjoy! www.random.org/points/2d
