Noise module that caches the last output value generated by a source module.
<p>
If an application passes an input value to the <a class="el" href="classnoise_1_1module_1_1Cache.html#a2">GetValue()</a> method that differs from the previously passed-in input value, this noise module instructs the source module to calculate the output value. This value, as well as the ( <em>x</em>, <em>y</em>, <em>z</em> ) coordinates of the input value, are stored (cached) in this noise module.<p>
If the application passes an input value to the <a class="el" href="classnoise_1_1module_1_1Cache.html#a2">GetValue()</a> method that is equal to the previously passed-in input value, this noise module returns the cached output value without having the source module recalculate the output value.<p>
If an application passes a new source module to the <a class="el" href="classnoise_1_1module_1_1Cache.html#a3">SetSourceModule()</a> method, the cache is invalidated.<p>
Caching a noise module is useful if it is used as a source module for multiple noise modules. If a source module is not cached, the source module will redundantly calculate the same output value once for each noise module in which it is included.<p>
This noise module requires one source module.

A noise module mathematically combines the output values from the source modules to generate the value returned by <a class="el" href="classnoise_1_1module_1_1Cache.html#a2">GetValue()</a>.<p>
The index value to assign a source module is a unique identifier for that source module. If an index value has already been assigned to a source module, this noise module replaces the old source module with the new source module.<p>
Before an application can call the <a class="el" href="classnoise_1_1module_1_1Cache.html#a2">GetValue()</a> method, it must first connect all required source modules. To determine the number of source modules required by this noise module, call the <a class="el" href="classnoise_1_1module_1_1Cache.html#a1">GetSourceModuleCount()</a> method.<p>
This source module must exist throughout the lifetime of this noise module unless another source module replaces that source module.<p>
A noise module does not modify a source module; it only modifies its output values.
