How to load a terrainSceneNode from a function

Is there any way to load a TerrainSceneNode in a procedural way? Like retrieving the heightmap from a function or an array, instead of an image file?

I have found this function

but don't understand how to use it.

Well, yeah, you could implement an IReadFile returning your calculated values upon read(). The terrain node reads one "pixel" per read

Nice. Will the mesh read it once or every tick?

Once.
