Stroke

• Stroke Method E

• Defines the way brush strokes are applied to the canvas.

  • Dots
  • Apply paint on each mouse move step.
  • Drag Dot
  • Leaves only one dab on the canvas which can be placed by dragging.
  • Space
  • • Spacing
    • Represents the percentage of the brush radius.

Limits brush application to the distance specified by spacing.

• Airbrush
• • Rate
  • Interval between paints for airbrush.

• Creates a single dab at the brush location.Clicking and dragging will resize the dab diameter.

  • Edge to Edge
  • The brush location and orientation are determined by a two point circle,where the first click is one point, and dragging places the second point, opposite from the first.
• Line
• Clicking and dragging lets you define a line in screen space.The line dabs are separated by Spacing, similar to space strokes.With Alt the line stroke is constrained to 45 degree increments.
• Curve
• • Paint Curves
  • Stroke Curves are reusable and can be stored and selected by using the menu.
  • Add Points Ctrl-LMB
  • You can define additional curve control points by using Ctrl-LMB.The handles can define by dragging the mouse before releasing the mouse button.
  • Transforming Points
  • The control points and handles can be dragged around with LMB.To ensure the handles of a control point are symmetrical,drag them around using Shift-LMB.A few transform operators are supported such as moving, scaling and rotating.
  • Selection
  • Delete Points X
  • To delete a curve point, use X.
  • Draw Curve Return
  • To confirm and execute the curved stroke,press Return or use the Draw Curve button.
  • Jitter
  • Jitter the position of the brush while painting.
  • Smooth stroke Shift-S
  • Brush lags behind mouse and follows a smoother path.

• Radius

• Sets the minimum distance from the last point before stroke continues.
• Factor
• Sets the amount of smoothing.
  • Input Samples
  • Recent mouse locations (input samples) are averaged together to smooth brush strokes.
