Reproducibility of random processes

Hi,
is there anyway to seed a generator in such a way that, given a seed, it always generates the same graph?
This is extremely important in order to use graphstream for scientific simulations, as the same runs need to be reproducible.
I believe BaseGenerator
should be modified with a two new constructors accepting respectively:
- a
RandomGenerator
(possibly from Apache Commons Math, but a Java Random could work as well); or - an
int
representing the seed for the internalRandom
.

Nevermind, I missed setRandomSeed
within BaseGenerator
. Please consider this issue invalid.
