Source:  splash.c

Inputs:  None

Outputs: "field 2D 2-space 1-vector uniform float"

Parameters:

         Dial         float    min=0.0, max=1.0, default=0.6

Description:

  This module is a simple C subroutine that will output a variety of
  surfaces/colors depending upon what 3-D mathematical function you
  choose it to have.

  The basic framework for the existing module example simply computes
  the distance from the center of a 100x100 grid (R = sqrt(r1*r1 +
  r2*r2)) and multiplies it by a sinusoidal factor (cos(scale * R))
  where scale is a scaling parameter, used to give it the waviness
  (z-dimension) we want.

  You can make it very interesting by attaching the "animated float"
  module to the widget input port instead of the float dial!  The
  example network provided does this.

  This is a great example to learn how to manipulate AVS fields.
