Randomizing image position in a slide object

[gilis]

Well, there is at the very least two things can be done in PST but not
in E-prime
1. Gabor patch 2. Controling the luminance level for each stimuli
within the program itself.
That's at least what I learn in person when I worked on my thesis
(transient attention)..Great list of publications you have-I liked!
Best

That is, yes, it seems like an awful lot to tell a programme to use "red", "green", "blue" for a Stroop task and then having to bother with setting all 9 combinations, rather than, for example, setting one attribute (congruence) and using a little script to randomly set colours and words. Still, I would advise you to use the list anyway; it provides much more clarity for yourself and others, its randomising tends to give better results than randomizing with replacement, and, well, you don't need to learn so much E-Basic programming.

I don't see where 'side' comes in... Just use two attributes [XLoc], [YLoc] if you will, use % values in your list and voila.

Are you trying to randomize a list? If you have many combinations, I suggest looking up nested lists in the user guide / getting started guide.
