## Methods

- [Format](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh2/type/grasshopper2.types.fields.standard.distancefield/format.md)
- [ScalarAt](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh2/type/grasshopper2.types.fields.standard.distancefield/scalarat.md)
- [Store](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh2/type/grasshopper2.types.fields.standard.distancefield/store.md)
- [ToString](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh2/type/grasshopper2.types.fields.standard.distancefield/tostring.md)
- [TryModify](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh2/type/grasshopper2.types.fields.standard.distancefield/trymodify.md): Try and create a new field based on this field and modifier notation. Only the salient properties of a field are exposed to text, the rest are copied from this instance. That is why there is no way to write a field of a specific type from nothing; there has to be one already to serve as the template. Constant scalar and vector fields are the exception, they are entirely described by a number or a vector. Implementations are expected to accept whatever their [Field.Format()](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh2/type/grasshopper2.types.fields.field/format.md) writes, so a value can be edited by changing the text it is displayed as. [Field.ModifierArguments(string)](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/gh2/type/grasshopper2.types.fields.field/modifierarguments.md) deals with the label in front of the arguments.
