**EventCall** ::
EventCall(function, *args, occurrences=inf, stopEventsWhenDone=True)
EventCall calls a function, with any number of arguments (\\*args) and uses
its return value for the given parameter. The example below use a function
from the random module, *randrange*, with arguments and a user-defined
function, without argument, to create a rising, then falling, amplitude curve.
