networkx.utils.decorators.random_state

random_state(random_state_argument)

Decorator to generate a numpy.random.RandomState instance.

The decorator processes the argument indicated by random_state_argument using nx.utils.create_random_state(). The argument value can be a seed (integer), or a numpy.random.RandomState instance or (None or numpy.random). The latter options use the glocal random number generator used by numpy.random. The result is a numpy.random.RandomState instance.

Parameters

random_state_argumentstring or int

The name or index of the argument to be converted to a numpy.random.RandomState instance.

Returns

_random_statefunction

Function whose random_state keyword argument is a RandomState instance.

Examples

Decorate functions like this:

@np_random_state("seed")
def random_float(seed=None):
    return seed.rand()

@np_random_state(0)
def random_float(rng=None):
    return rng.rand()

@np_random_state(1)
def random_array(dims, random_state=1):
    return random_state.rand(*dims)
