jQuery-Noise Plugin

This plugin will insert a semi transparent noise image into your elements background-images. The image is generated using canvas then exported out with toDataURL().

Demo:

There is a Demo.html file provided as well as a demo on jsFiddle here.

How to use:

Include the script and jQuery like normal: <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="noisy.js"></script>

Then after the dom is ready you can call just noisy() or pass it some parameters:

$("body").noisy({opacity : .1});

Parameters:

• opacity : Takes a number between .0 and 1 and draws out the noise at that opacity.
• color : Used for tinting the noise a certain color. Takes a string formatted like "rgb(255,255,255)" or a function that returns a string like that. By default this returns the items current background-color.
• monochromatic : Whether the generated noise should be monochromatic (true) or not. If false, the red, green, and blue channels are randomized independently. Default: false.
• brightness : A number usually around 70 that adds some brightness to the colors so they aren't all dark.
• width : How wide you want the background-image tile set at. If your noise looks to uniform make this number bigger.
