function ProceduralNoiseDemo(benchmark)
% ProceduralNoiseDemo([benchmark=0])
%
% This demo demonstrates fast drawing of noise patches via use of
% procedural texture mapping. It only works on hardware with support for
% the GLSL shading language, vertex- and fragment-shaders.
%
% Patches are not encoded into a texture, but instead a little algorithm -
% a procedural texture shader - is executed on the graphics processor
% (GPU). This is very fast and efficient! All parameters of the patch can
% be set individually.
%
% This demo is both, a speed benchmark, and a correctness test. If executed
% with the optional benchmark flag set to 2, it will execute a loop where
% it repeatedly draws a patch on the GPU and then reads back the noise
% patch and computes a histogram over all pixels, so you can verify if the
% noise distribution is what you expect.
%
% In benchmark mode (flag set to 1), the patch is drawn as fast as
% possible, testing the maximum rate at which your system can draw patchs.
%
% At a default setting of benchmark==0, it just shows nicely drawn patch.
%
% Please note that results in performance and accuracy *will* vary,
% depending on the model of your graphics card, gfx-driver version and
% possibly operating system. For consistent results, always check before
% you measure on different setups! However, the more recent the graphics
% card, the faster and more accurate -- the latest generation of cards is
% supposed to be "just perfect" for vision research...
%
% If you want to draw many patches per frame, you wouldn't do it like in
% this script, but use the batch-drawing version of Screen('DrawTextures',
% ...) instead, as demonstrated, e.g., in DrawingSpeedTest.m. That way you
% could submit the specs (parameters) of all patches in one single matrix
% via one single Screen('DrawTextures'); call - this is more efficient and
% therefore extra fast!
