Stroke Types
Stroke type determines how media is applied during a brush stroke. Corel Painter
brushes use one of the following stroke types. Some stroke types may be grayed out
depending on the currently selected brush variant and dab type.
• The Single stroke type draws one dab path that corresponds exactly to your brush
stroke.
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 brush stroke 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.
