82 Using Brushes
The Brushes tab lets you
select a brush type from
a range of natural
(opposite), spray or
photo-based categories.
You can also view
brushes currently being
used in your document,
and edit brushes or
create your own brushes
(see online Help).
Natural and spray brush types are indicated by and
symbols, respectively.
To make sense of all the brush types available to the user, the preset brushes are
stored under a series of pre-defined categories under the name Global—the
brushes are available to all DrawPlus documents currently open. The Document
category shows the brush types currently in use in the DrawPlus drawing and is
used to “bookmark” brushes for easy reuse in the future.
At some point, you may want to edit, copy or create your own natural stroke or
spray brush type. See online Help.
Brush strokes can be applied directly to the page by using your mouse or tablet;
the latter method is ideally suited for applying customizable pressure-sensitive
strokes to your drawing. However, painting with the mouse still provides a
viable alternative to the tablet. Pressure sensitivity is simulated by use of ready-
made customizable pressure profile presets.
