### Mode

<details>

<summary>Mode Enumerable</summary>

* Value = 0
* Perlin = 1
* Cubic = 2
* Simplex = 3
* White Noise = 4

## Usage

Adjusting the frequency changes the density of the underlying grid.

Depth moves in the z axis through the point field

The mode changes the type of noise that is calculated.

The interpolation mode changes the way the noise falloff is calculated.
