The random points, of which only the horizontal respectively the vertical coordinate is changing, are connected in the order of their generation. A certain regularity is due to the type of pseudo random numbers (Van der Corput numbers) used. Modulo 1 results in changes from one image border to the other. The horizontal segments vary only insignificantly in their length.
