Mouse controls
In theory, a mouse has no pressure information. A mouse button is either on (button down), or off (button up). However, the Corel Painter Mouse controls let you simulate the following stylus settings:
•
Pressure (how hard you would be pressing with a stylus)
•
Tilt (how close to vertical the stylus is held)
•
Bearing (the compass direction in which the stylus is pointing)
•
Rotation (to simulate using a flat-tip stylus that supports 360-degree rotation)
•
Wheel (how much ink is sprayed).
For more information, see Using a stylus vs. a mouse.
You can record and save brushstrokes created with a stylus and then have Corel Painter use the saved settings for the stroke when you switch to a mouse. For more information about using saved brushstrokes to further enhance mouse functionality, see Recording and playing back brushstrokes.
