noiseCylinderCRGB()

CRGB fl::noiseCylinderCRGB	(	float	angle,
		float	height,
		u32	time,
		float	radius = 1.0f )

Generate CRGB noise for a cylinder pattern.

Samples three z-slices of 3D Perlin noise to create independent red, green, and blue components (direct RGB, not HSV conversion). Maps the angle around the circumference using sin/cos, and samples height directly.

Parameters

angle	Position around the cylinder (radians, 0 to 2π)
height	Vertical position on the cylinder
time	Animation time parameter
radius	Noise zoom level (level of detail). Larger values = coarser pattern, smaller = more detail (default 1.0)

Returns

CRGB color with 8-bit components
