Aloha!

The tool does not provide a good assessment of the quality of random
values generated. For one thing, the way one organizes the dimension of
the image, the image will look differently from row to the next row.

But the human eye is pretty good at spotting patterns in images and this
allows one to get glimpse of any patterns etc in the data. The included
image for example is based on values generated by the linear
congruential generator described in the book Numerical Recipies in C.

I've added this generator as an option when generating images. Enabled
using the -c or --crap flag. ;-)
