The Brush Editor dialog allows you to make alterations to brushes.
|
|
|
|
|
At the top of the dialog, you can see the name of the brush (a new
|
|
|
|
|
brush will be called "Untitled"). This name can be edited to change the
|
|
|
|
|
brush name. If you choose a name which is the same as another brush,
|
|
|
|
|
Gimp will suffix "#<em>x</em>" (where <em>x</em> is a number).
|
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
|
Below the title, you can see a preview of how the final brush will
|
|
|
|
|
look. If you resize the brush to a size larger than the preview area,
|
|
|
|
|
the preveiw will be scaled, and the scale factor shown below it as a
|
|
|
|
|
ratio, such as 2:1 for 50% zoomed out.

The remainder of the dialog controls how the brush will be look.
|
|
|
|
|
The Radius controls the distance from the center of the brush to the
|
|
|
|
|
furthest edge in pixels. The radius of a brush is 100 pixels.
|
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
|
The Hardness slider controls how much the brush fades towards it's
|
|
|
|
|
edges. A value closer to 1 will give a sharp edge, and closer to 0 will
|
|
|
|
|
give a fuzzy, blured effect.
|
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
|
The Aspect Ratio defines the diameter vertical as a ratio against the
|
|
|
|
|
horizontal diameter. A value of 1.0 will give a round brush since this
|
|
|
|
|
means that the horizontal diameter is 1x the vertical. The maximum
|
|
|
|
|
value is 20, where the horizontal diameter is 20x the vertical, which
|
|
|
|
|
gives a very squashed eliptical brush.
|
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
|
The final setting is Angle which is used when the aspect ratio is
|
|
|
|
|
more than 1.0. The angle can be between 0 and 180 degrees, which works
|
|
|
|
|
in an anti-clockwise direction.
