Detailed Description
an implicit function that implements Perlin noise
vtkPerlinNoise computes a Perlin noise field as an implicit function. vtkPerlinNoise is a concrete implementation of vtkImplicitFunction. Perlin noise, originally described by Ken Perlin, is a non-periodic and continuous noise function useful for modeling real-world objects.
The amplitude and frequency of the noise pattern are adjustable. This implementation of Perlin noise is derived closely from Greg Ward's version in Graphics Gems II.

Return 1 if this class type is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeRevisionMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.
