Brush Controls

Creating a brush

To create a brush, simply:

1. Select a shape
2. Select the Freehand and Brush Tool (F3)
3. Click on the Create Brush button on the Infobar.

 

This brings up the dialogue below, where you can then give your brush a name.

The brush will then be created and stored in the Line Gallery (F12). If you click and draw, your brush will be painted as you draw.

Editing/customising a brush

Once a brush has been created, you cannot add additional shapes to it - you will need to create a new brush in such a case. However, the positions and layout of the objects constituting the brush can be customised significantly.

To customise the brush, select both the brush line and the Freehand and Brush Tool (F3), and then click on the Edit Brush button on the Infobar to bring up the brush properties dialogue.

Fill Properties Options

Saturation: Applies a random saturation value (vividness/paleness of colour) to constituent vector objects on the brush stroke.

Hue: Applies a random hue (colour) to constituent vector objects.
