@interface GKRidgedNoiseSource : GKCoherentOverview
Ridged noise is similar to Perlin noise (see the GKPerlin class), but with thinner features resembling natural phenomena such as forked lightning and mountain peaks.
Example output from a ridged noise source
Like all GKNoise subclasses, a ridged noise source represents a noise generation algorithm and its parameters. To make use of a noise source, first create GKNoise object from it (and optionally apply operations to that noise object or combine it with other noise objects). Then create a GKNoise object from your noise object, generating a concrete field of values that you can sample from directly or visualize using the SKTexture or SKTile class.
