## Usage

Adjusting the frequency changes the density of the underlying grid.

Jitter controls the amount the points move from their regular center position to random x,y,z directions

Depth moves in the z axis through the point field

The boundary mode changes the way a cell region is defined from the center point relative to its neighbors.

The interpolation mode changes the way the gradient values are calculated relative to the center and boundary.
