class Uniform(UniformInitializer):
    """The random uniform distribution initializer.

    Args:
        low (float, optional): lower boundary of the uniform distribution. The default value is -1.0.
        high (float, optional): upper boundary of the uniform distribution. The default value is 1.0.
        name(str, optional): The default value is None. Normally there is no need for user to set this
            property. For more information, please refer to :ref:`api_guide_Name`.

    Returns:
        A parameter initialized by random uniform distribution.

    Examples:
        .. code-block:: python

            import paddle

            data = paddle.ones(shape=[3, 1, 2], dtype='float32')
