== Description ==

Converts the active scalar field of the selected entity by applying a random color scale.

The user must first define a number of colors that will be randomly generated. CloudCompare will then apply the corresponding (random) color scale (as a linear scale, regularly sampled over the scalar field range).

Note: this is very useful to randomly color a set of points with a classification index as scalar field for instance (just set the same number of random colors as the number of classes).
