// <synopsis>
// This class allows you to add noise from one of many enumerated
// types to a Lattice.  If the Lattice is Complex, then the noise
// is added to real and imaginary separately.
// </synopsis>

// <example>
// <srcblock>
//    Vector<Double> pars(2):
//    pars(0) = 0.5;          // Mean
//    pars(1) = 0.2;          // Variance
//    LatticeAddNoise lan(Random::NORMAL, pars);
//    ArrayLattice<Float> lat(IPosition(2,100,100));
//    lan.add(lat);
// </srcblock>
