General controls: Stroke types
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. For more information, see “Multi controls” on page 395.
• Increasing the Stroke Jitter value in the Stroke Jitter panel spreads out the
strokes in a multi-stroke brush.
• Increasing the amount of bristles can increase the density of the brushstroke. For
more information, see “Multi controls” on page 395.
• 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.
