The options at the top of the screen are described in the following table:

OPTION	DESCRIPTION
Noise	Generate Noise texture according to the current settings
Perlin	Select Perlin Noise - Produces cloud like textures
Voronoi	Select Voronoi Noise - Produces cell like textures
Bands	Select Bands - Produces textures geared towards Gas Giants
Terrain	Select Terrain Noise - Similar to Perlin Noise but geared towards solid planets
Smooth	Smoothes the texture - currently deactivated
Sphere	Map the texture to a sphere - will typically take far longer to create
Fade	Fade the texture at the poles of a sphere. This allows the texture to be grafted to the top and bottom of the sphere such that the joins are less apparent.
Tileable	Allows a texture that is not sphere mapped to be made 'tile-able'.
Clamp	Standard Clamping. Clamps negative results to 0 and positive results to 1. Tends to produce textures that occupy the lower portion of the palette.
Abs Clamp	Absolute Clamping. Converts negative results to positive ones which are clamped at 1. Tends to produce noisy textures which occupy the full palette range.
Norm Clamp	Normalised Clamping. Tends to produce textures which occupy the mid portion of the palette
Random Seed	Seed for random number generator

The options at the bottom left of the window allow the palette to be configured. The results from the noise function are used as an index into this palette in order to retrieve the required colour.

OPTION	DESCRIPTION
Red	Red component
Green	Green Component
Blue	Blue Component
Position	Position in Palette
LIST	List of distinct colours in the palette described in terms of their position
Add	Add a new colour to the Palette
Delete	Delete selected colour from palette
Move	Move selected colour to new position

Perlin Noise options are described in the following table

OPTION	DESCRIPTION
Frequency	Frequency of the Noise. High frequencies produce more disruptive textures
Amplitude	Initial amplitude of the Noise. Higher values will produce textures which occupy the higher parts of the palette.
Octaves	Number of iterations. With each iteration more detail is added. Low values tend to produce blurred textures.
Persistence	Increase in amplitude for each iteration.
Line Interpolation	Tends to produce 'spiky' textures.
Cosine Interpolation	Tends to produce 'smooth' textures
No Lines	Values greater than 1 will cause the noise to be generated as horizontal lines
Thin Lines	Causes the 'Lines' to be 'thinned'
Inner Lines	Causes the outer lines to be culled.

Voronoi Noise options are described in the following table

OPTION	DESCRIPTION
Frequency	Frequency of the Noise. High frequencies produce more disruptive textures
Amplitude	Amplitude of the Noise. Higher values will produce textures which occupy the higher parts of the palette.
Manhattan	Produces cellular noise which takes the form of diamond shapes.
Chebyshev	Produces cellular noise which has a scale like structure
Dual Distance	Produces more complex textures.

Bands options are described in the following table

OPTION	DESCRIPTION
Jitter	Amount of high frequency jitter to be applied to bands.
Streak Blending	Degree of blending of diagonal streaks through texture - a value of Zero disables streaks.
Streak Length	Length of diagonal streaks through texture - a value of Zero disables streaks.
Streak Power	Gradient of diagonal streaks through texture.
Spot Size	Size of 'Spots' in texture - a value of Zero disables spots.
Spot Red	Red Component of Spot
Spot Green	Green Component of Spot
Spot Blue	Blue Component of Spot
Reflect Palette	Reflects the Palette between the top and bottom halves of the texture.

Terrain options are basically identical to those of Perlin Noise but contain a separate area on the right-hand side that indicates at which point various types of terrain should start. The position of each form of terrain is also indicated in the palette area.

The bottom right-hand corner of the window allows a number of effects to be applied to the texture

OPTION	DESCRIPTION
Vortex Size	Size of Vortices in pixels
Large Vortex	Causes large swirling vortices to be applied to the texture.
Small Vortex	Causes small swirling vortices to be applied to the texture.
Ripple Width	Configures the width of a ripple to be applied by the texture. In order for the effect to be tile-able the width should be able to divide into 512.
Ripple Height	Configures the height of a ripple to be applied by the texture. In order for the effect to be tile-able the height should be able to divide into 512.
