C# Class LibNoise.Builder.NoiseMapBuilder

Abstract base class for a noise-map builder A builder class builds a noise map by filling it with coherent-noise values generated from the surface of a three-dimensional mathematical object. Each builder class defines a specific three-dimensional surface, such as a cylinder, sphere, or plane. A builder class describes these input values using a coordinate system applicable for the mathematical object (e.g., a latitude/longitude coordinate system for the spherical noise-map builder.) It then "flattens" these coordinates onto a plane so that it can write the coherent-noise values into a two-dimensional noise map. Building the Noise Map To build the noise map, perform the following steps: - Pass the bounding coordinates to the SetBounds() method. - Pass the noise map size, in points, to the SetDestSize() method. - Pass a NoiseMap object to the SetDestNoiseMap() method. - Pass a noise module (derived from Noise.Module) to the SetSourceModule() method. - Call the Build() method. You may also pass a callback function to the SetCallback() method. The Build() method calls this callback function each time it fills a row of the noise map with coherent-noise values. This callback function has a single integer parameter that contains a count of the rows that have been completed. It returns void. Note that SetBounds() is not defined in the abstract base class; it is only defined in the derived classes. This is because each model uses a different coordinate system.
