gimp_paintbrush_default (1999)

NAME

gimp_paintbrush_default - Paint in the current brush. The fade out parameter and pull colors from a gradient parameter are set from the paintbrush options dialog. If this dialog has not been activated then the dialog defaults will be used.

SYNOPSIS

gimp_paintbrush_default (drawable,num_strokes,strokes)

DESCRIPTION

This tool is similar to the standard paintbrush. It draws linearly interpolated lines through the specified stroke coordinates. It operates on the specified drawable in the foreground color with the active brush. The "fade_out" parameter is measured in pixels and allows the brush stroke to linearly fall off (value obtained from the option dialog). The pressure is set to the maximum at the beginning of the stroke. As the distance of the stroke nears the fade_out value, the pressure will approach zero. The gradient_length (value obtained from the option dialog) is the distance to spread the gradient over. It is measured in pixels. If the gradient_length is 0, no gradient is used.
