The flavor 'Vector' describes a Vector with n rows (or columns). Each entry is described by the given random flavor flav. The default flavor is integer and the default value for n is 10.

Specifying [row] or [column] will select if a row or column Vector is generated. By default, a column vector is generated.

The density value is a probability that an entry will be assigned a value. By default, this value is 1.

Additional arguments can be specified that will be passed to the Vector constructor. For example, datatype, shape,etc.

This flavor can be used as an argument to RandomTools[Generate] or as part of a structured flavor .
