Quick links to procedures on this page:
• |
The Stroke type determines how a brushstroke applies media. Corel Painter brushes use one of the following stroke types.
• |
The Single stroke type draws one dab path that corresponds exactly to your
brushstroke.
|
You can use Static Bristle, Captured, or one of the bristly rendered dab types (such as Camel Hair) with the Single stroke type to create the effect of multiple bristles. |
The Single stroke type has one dab path.
• |
The Multi stroke type draws a set of randomly distributed dab paths, positioned
around the brushstroke you make. These dabs leave dab paths that are not parallel
and might overlap. The Multi stroke type may produce different results each time
you use it.
|
Increasing the Jitter value in the Random area spreads out the strokes in a multi-stroke brush. |
Multi-stroke brushes are computed before you apply them, therefore, the computing process can delay their appearance on the canvas. Because of this delay, multi-stroke brushes work best when you apply short, controlled strokes. |
The Multi stroke type draws a set of randomly distributed dab paths.
• |
The Rake stroke type draws a set of evenly distributed dab paths. The several dab
paths in a rake brushstroke are parallel. You can control all other aspects of the
stroke by using settings in the Rake brush control panel.
|
Each bristle in a Rake brush can have a different color. Increasing Color Variability in Corel Painter causes bristles to be colored differently. |
A Rake stroke is composed of evenly distributed dab paths.
• |
The Hose stroke type applies only to the Image Hose. It’s a single stroke composed
of the current Image Hose Nozzle file. For more information about the Image Hose
and Nozzle files, see Image Hose.
|
The Hose stroke type uses the current Nozzle file as media.
| To choose a stroke type |  |
1 |
Choose Window  Brush Control Panels General.
|
2 |
Choose a stroke type from the Stroke Type list box.
|
If a stroke type is not available (appears greyed out), it’s not supported by the currently selected brush variant and dab type. |
