Not graphical, but [list]-abs has [list-wrandom] (also attached). It'd
modelled after [random], but instead of the range, you send a list of
numbers to the second inlet, that give relative probabilities for its
indices/positions. If you bang the first inlet to get a random
position out. The probs are automatically normalized. I don't think
it's in pd-extended yet, but it's just an abstraction, so you can drop
it in wherever you want (uses some other list-abs, though.)

Internally the list of probs is stored in a table, so if you rip it
apart, you can directly read from a table.

Ciao
