Subject: [Rd] set.seed() in a package
Message-ID: <B880EAC4-01D4-4588-BAE2-D4337A10378A@wrig.de>

Hi all, 

I recently found several calls of set.seed() in a CRAN package. These calls are in a plot function, which could lead to unexpected behaviour. See https://github.com/sammo3182/interplot/issues/33 <https://github.com/sammo3182/interplot/issues/33> for a description of the problem. 

I checked the CRAN repository policies and could not find anything about this. I would have expected a policy against setting fixed seeds somewhere in a package. Am I missing something? 

Best, 

Marvin
