alterations to brushes. At the top of the dialog, you can see the
name of the brush (a new brush will be called
<SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"<SPAN
CLASS="GUILABEL"
>Untitled</SPAN
>"</SPAN

edited to change the brush name. If you choose a name which is the
same as another brush, <SPAN

the name with #<TT

size the brush to a size larger than the preview area, the preview
will be scaled and the scale factor shown below it as a ratio,

center of the brush to the furthest edge in pixels. The maximum
radius of a brush is 100 pixels.

CLASS="GUIBUTTON"
>Hardness</SPAN

brush fades towards its edges. A value closer to
<TT

<TT
CLASS="PARAMETER"

CLASS="GUIBUTTON"
>Aspect Ratio</SPAN

diameter in a ratio to the horizontal diameter. A value of
<TT
CLASS="PARAMETER"

> will give a round brush since this
means that the horizontal diameter is the same as the vertical.
The maximum value is <TT
CLASS="PARAMETER"
><I
>20.0</I
></TT
> which gives a
horizontal diameter twenty times larger than the vertical,
resulting in a very squashed, elliptical brush.

when the aspect ratio is more than <TT

The angle can be between <TT
