r = plrnd (x, Fx) returns a random number chosen from the piecewise linear distribution with a vector of x values at which the CDF changes slope and a vector of CDF values Fx that correspond to each value in x. Both x and Fx must be vectors of the same size and at least 2-elements long.

When called with a single size argument, plrnd returns a square matrix with the dimension specified. When called with more than one scalar argument, the first two arguments are taken as the number of rows and columns and any further arguments specify additional matrix dimensions. The size may also be specified with a row vector of dimensions, sz.
