## 3.5 The Brush Editor

Brushes are edited with the brush editor. The brush editor appears by double clicking a brush field or by choosing Edit... in the context menu.

If the active brush is geometric, a combo box contains the kind of the brush: rectangular or round.

In the left top the result of the current settings is shown.

Size defines the size of the brush.

If Hardness is smaller than 100%, the brush has a corresponding soft edge. The curve field in the left bottom can modify this edge.

Roundness reduces the vertical size of the brush. A circle becomes an oval.

Angle rotates the brush. With circular brushes this setting has only a visible effect, if the roundness of the brush has been changed.

Steps specifies the distance between two brush points while drawing. The value is given in percent of the brush size. If the value is small (e.g. 10), the result is a continuous line:

If the value is large (e.g. 120), the result is a dotted line:

Values too small result in slow drawing.

You can set additional painting properties via the Painting Matrix (see chapter 3.6).
