Example code for the id GV_NOISE_FUNCTION in GVnoise

Note that this is not the actual code from the GVnoise file.

This code is just an example to show you how to add a similar control to your own description.

Resource File Code (GVnoise.res)


LONG  GV_NOISE_FUNCTION
{
                        
    CYCLE 
    {         GV_NOISE_NOISE; 
        GV_NOISE_TURBULENCE; 
        GV_NOISE_FRACTAL; 
        GV_NOISE_FBM; 
    }
}
            

Header File Code (GVnoise.h)
