Pressure Sensitivity and Pen Tablets 275
Pressure sensitivity
When painting, or drawing lines and curves, DrawPlus lets you take advantage
of pressure sensitivity in a variety of ways:
• via an installed pen tablet.
• via the Pressure tab (if pen tablet is unavailable).
via a pen tablet
Your pen tablet and DrawPlus work in perfect harmony for a truly authentic
drawing and painting experience, with in-built pressure sensitivity as you draw
and paint. See Using pen tablets (p. 279) for more information.
via the Pressure tab
If a pen tablet is unavailable to you, DrawPlus can simulate pressure sensitivity
when using your mouse (along with DrawPlus’s Pressure tab).
This tab is used to set pressure sensitivity globally by using a pressure profile.
The tab lets you:
• Select a preset pressure profile
• Create your own custom profile from scratch
• Adjust how brush, pen, or pencil width and transparency changes as
it responds to pressure
• Control the maximum and minimum pressure.
