# Noise Tool
This tool allows you to visualise and edit Terra noise configurations. Features include:
* 2D, 3D and Voxel rendering of the noise function itself
* Minimum/Maximum values of the function
* Plots of the distribution of noise values
* Time taken to generate the noise
* YAML editor with syntax highlighting and basic auto-completion.
* Ability to load/save configurations.
* Ability to save renders to images.
* Ability to pan noise renders by dragging.
# Using the tool
## Setup
To use the tool, simply download the latest release and run it.
An `addons` folder will automatically be created for you.
The Noise Tool does not include any addons by default, so this folder will only have an empty `bootstrap` folder in it.
Copy the `bootstrap` folder and the `config-noise-function` addon from your Terra installation (found in `Terra/addons`) to the Noise Tool’s `addon` folder.
Verify that the file structure in the folder containing the Noise Tool matches this:
```
├── addons
│ ├── bootstrap
│ │ ├── Terra-api-addon-loader--all.jar
│ │ └── Terra-manifest-addon-loader--all.jar
│ └── Terra-config-noise-function--all.jar
└── NoiseTool--all.jar
```
Once you have verified your file structure is correct, rerun the application.
A window will open up containing an editor on the left, and a render of the noise function on the right.
## Reloading the config
This tool allows you to reload the config live. To do so, simply select `Noise > Render`, or press `F5`.
## Setting the seed
To set the noise seed, go to the `Settings` panel on the right side of the application, and set the
"Seed" spinner.
## Plotting distribution
To view the noise distribution, see the "Distribution" panel on the right.
## Loading/Saving configurations
To load/Save configurations, use the `File` menu. Standard keyboard shortcuts (`Ctrl+O`, `Ctrl+S`, `Ctrl+Shift+S`)
are available as well. To save noise renders to an image, select `File > Save Render As` or use `Ctrl+Alt+S`.
