\title{Randomly place vertices on a plane or in 3d space}
\usage{
layout_randomly(graph, dim = c(2, 3))

randomly(...)
}
\arguments{
\item{graph}{The input graph.}

\item{dim}{Integer scalar, the dimension of the space to use. It must be 2
or 3.}

\item{...}{Parameters to pass to \code{layout_randomly()}.}
}
\value{
A numeric matrix with two or three columns.
}
\description{
This function uniformly randomly places the vertices of the graph in two or
three dimensions.
}
\details{
Randomly places vertices on a [-1,1] square (in 2d) or in a cube (in 3d). It
is probably a useless layout, but it can use as a starting point for other
layout generators.
