Adjusting mosaic tile dimensions and randomness

You can change the shape of mosaic tiles by adjusting the tile dimensions and spacing. You can also control the variability of tile shapes by setting the degree of randomness. Increasing randomness makes the shapes more erratic, each different from the last. For example, if the length dimension is 10 pixels, a length randomness of 25% creates tiles that are randomly given a length in the range of 7.5 to 12.5 pixels.

With the Pressure slider set to zero, a light stroke produces narrow tiles, and a heavier stroke creates wider tiles.
Increasing the Pressure slider also increases the effect of pressure on the width of the tiles and prevents the creation of narrow tiles in response to a light stroke. Setting Pressure to 100% creates uniformly wide tiles, regardless of the pressure.
In this example, the Pressure slider is set to 0% (top) and 100% (bottom).

In this example, Width randomness is set to 92%.
In this example, the Length slider is set to 98%.
In this example, the Cut slider is set to 90°.
In this example, the Grout randomness is set to 100%.
