Brush Manipulation Tools

This is an interface to the two brush tools: Glyph Brush Tool and Dimensional Stacking Brush Tool. Pressing on a button will popup the corresponding brush tool.

• Glyph Brush Tool - This tool represents an enlarged glyph. The currently active brush coverage is displayed as a shaded region on the glyph. The brush may be resized by dragging with the left mouse button and translated by dragging with the middle mouse button. These manipulations affect a local copy of the brush only, in order to have these changes take effect on the true brush, you must click the Apply button.
• Dimensional Stacking Brush Tool - This tool is composed of a series of sliders, each slider representing one dimension. The horizontal sliders on the top of the display represent the horizontal dimensions and the vertical sliders represent the vertical dimensions in the dimensional stacking display. The dimensions with the highest level in the hierarchy are located at the top and left of the tool. Likewise dimensions with the lowest level in the hierarchy are at the bottom and right of the tool. The ``thumb'' portion of the slider represents the brush coverage of the currently active brush in that dimension. The brush may be resized by dragging with the left mouse button and may be recentered by dragging with the middle mouse button.
