Help file > Smudge > Cache Radius section.

Maybe it's just me overlooking something, but I can't find any Radius input on the Smudge component, regardless if it is in Orthogonal mode or not. I'm guessing this section refers to the Trails map input? A typo? If so, then Cache Radius should probably be renamed to Cache Trail?

Are you really looking at the Smudge component? This is how it looks for me:

So where's the Radius input that the Cache Radius option is supposed to cache? smile:-p

Quote
Cache Radius: Numeric Input (non-orthogonal mode only)

When turned on, the component creates a bitmap cache for the Radius input, which may improve the component performance in cases when a subtree connected to Radius is slow. Due to the fact that a bitmap cache is inherently less precise than the original procedurally-defined source, caching may produce undesirable artifacts. Has no effect when the Radius input is not connected.

I have smile:)
Vladimir said the input names are correct and Cache Radius caches the radius bitmap for the Trail input. We'll modify the help section accordingly.

Crapadilla, thanks for spotting smile:)
