transform_sample()

double MayaFlux::Nodes::Generator::Stochastics::Random::transform_sample ( double  sample, double  start, double  end  ) const

private

Transforms a raw value to fit within the specified range.

Parameters

sample	Raw value from the distribution
start	Lower bound of the target range
end	Upper bound of the target range

Returns

Transformed value within the specified range

Different distributions require different mathematical transformations to properly map their output while preserving their statistical properties.
