R: Create an image using the Perlin turbulence function.

feTurbulence {gridSVG} | R Documentation

## Create an image using the Perlin turbulence function.

### Description

This filter primitive creates an image using the Perlin turbulence function. It allows the synthesis of artificial textures like clouds or marble.

### Usage

    feTurbulence(baseFrequency = 0, numOctaves = 1,
                 seed = 1, stitchTiles = FALSE,
                 type = c("turbulence", "fractalNoise"), ...)

### Arguments

`baseFrequency` | The base frequency (frequencies) parameter(s) for the noise function. If a two element numeric vector is provided, the first number represents a base frequency in the X direction and the second value represents a base frequency in the Y direction. If one number is provided, then that value is used for both X and Y.
`numOctaves` | The `numOctaves` parameter for the noise function.
`seed` | The starting number for the pseudo random number generator.
`stitchTiles` | If `stitchTiles` is `FALSE`, no attempt it made to achieve smooth transitions at the border of tiles which contain a turbulence function. Sometimes the result will show clear discontinuities at the tile borders. If `stitchTiles` is `TRUE`, then the user agent will automatically adjust `baseFrequency`-x and `baseFrequency`-y values such that the `feTurbulence`'s width and height (i.e., the width and height of the current subregion) contains an integral number of the Perlin tile width and height for the first octave. The `baseFrequency` will be adjusted up or down depending on which way has the smallest relative (not absolute) change as follows: Given the frequency, calculate lowFreq = floor(width*frequency)/width and hiFreq=ceil(width*frequency)/width. If frequency/lowFreq < hiFreq/frequency then use `lowFreq`, else use `hiFreq`. While generating turbulence values, generate lattice vectors as normal for Perlin Noise, except for those lattice points that lie on the right or bottom edges of the active area (the size of the resulting tile). In those cases, copy the lattice vector from the opposite edge of the active area.
`type` | Indicates whether the filter primitive should perform a noise or turbulence function.
`...` | Further arguments to be passed onto `fe`.
