generate_state(n_words, dtype=np.uint32)

A BitGenerator should call this method in its constructor with an appropriate :None:None:`n_words` parameter to properly seed itself.

Parameters

n_words : int
dtype : np.uint32 or np.uint64, optional

The size of each word. This should only be either uint32 or uint64 . Strings (:None:None:`'uint32'`, :None:None:`'uint64'`) are fine. Note that requesting uint64 will draw twice as many bits as uint32 for the same :None:None:`n_words`. This is a convenience for :None:None:`BitGenerator's that express their states as 'uint64` arrays.

Returns

state : uint32 or uint64 array, shape=(n_words,)

Return the requested number of words for PRNG seeding.

Local connectivity graph

Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.

Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)

SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.

All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
