Ah. I understand now.

"I found it more expedient to add a random translation to the point values
before storing them in the array, as they are read in from the file."

(I will admit, it's one of those things that's a bit hard to phrase before 2nd
coffee..   I'm likely further challenged by the damage that American compulsory
public education caused me.)

I think it's something that would save the time of one addition per point if the
number of points to be plotted exceeded the number of entries in the array, and
it would prevent overlap of objects slightly differing in position for the same
array entry.
