Noise module that outputs a weighted blend of the output values from two source modules given the output value supplied by a control module.
<p>
<div align="center">
<img src="moduleblend.png" alt="moduleblend.png">
</div>
<p>
Unlike most other noise modules, the index value assigned to a source module determines its role in the blending operation:<ul>
<li>Source module 0 (upper left in the diagram) outputs one of the values to blend.</li><li>Source module 1 (lower left in the diagram) outputs one of the values to blend.</li><li>Source module 2 (bottom of the diagram) is known as the <em>control module</em>. The control module determines the weight of the blending operation. Negative values weigh the blend towards the output value from the source module with an index value of 0. Positive values weigh the blend towards the output value from the source module with an index value of 1.</li></ul>
<p>
An application can pass the control module to the <a class="el" href="classnoise_1_1module_1_1Blend.html#a4">SetControlModule()</a> method instead of the <a class="el" href="classnoise_1_1module_1_1Module.html#a5">SetSourceModule()</a> method. This may make the application code easier to read.<p>
This noise module uses linear interpolation to perform the blending operation.<p>
This noise module requires three source modules.

The control module determines the weight of the blending operation. Negative values weigh the blend towards the output value from the source module with an index value of 0. Positive values weigh the blend towards the output value from the source module with an index value of 1.<p>
This method assigns the control module an index value of 2.

This control module must exist throughout the lifetime of this noise module unless another control module replaces that control module. </td>
