maximum amplitude and period set to width or height.
Parameters:
$p0 - Amplitude
$p1 - Wavelength
$p2 - Velocity
$p3 - Outward (TRUE)
Notes:
Personally, I would have preferred to call this effect "Ripple" and the Ripple effect "Waves" (if for no other reason than that the Grateful Dead's "Ripple" is about pond waves). Nonetheless, the names for these two effects as implemented in GIMP are retained for consistency.
