Noisemap

A simple library for python which returns a noisemap as a 2D numpy array.

Installation

pip install noisemap

Usage

Functions

Mapgen

Mapgen(size, smoothness)

Parameters

size

size defines how many data points are in the array. The noisemaps generated are always square, so a map with size 5 would be a 5x5 2D array.

smoothness

smoothness affects how smoothed out the noisemap is. A smoothness of 0 would be a grid of completely random numbers, whereas a higher smoothness would have each data point be relatively close in value to its adjacent data points.

Notes

• All datapoints are floating point numbers generated with random.random(). This means you can affect the numbers in the noisemap with random.seed(seed).
• Smoothing can take some time depending on the size of the grid and the amount of smoothing to be done.
