interpolatedValue(at:)

Returns the value at the specified position in the noise map, interpolating results for positions not on the discrete sample grid.

Declaration

func interpolatedValue(at position: vector_float2) -> Float

Parameters

  • position:

    The position to query in the noise map. Must be within the rectangle defined by the noise map’s Origin and Size properties.

Return Value

The value at the specified position.

Discussion

When you create a noise map from a GKNoise object, GameplayKit performs the noise generation and processing computations necessary to fill a discrete grid with noise samples. (You specify the size of the grid and its number of samples in the init(_:size:origin:sampleCount:seamless:) initializer.) You can use this method to get noise values for arbitrary positions in the noise field, regardless of whether those positions are aligned with the discrete grid. When you query a position not aligned with the grid, this method automatically samples nearby grid positions and interpolates the results.

To query only positions within the discrete sample grid, use the value(at:) method instead.
