- Angle: Specifies the angle by which an elliptical or sampled brush’s long axis is rotated from the horizontal.
- Roundness: Specifies the ratio between the brush’s short and long axes. A value of 100% indicates a circular brush, 0% indicates a linear brush, and intermediate values indicate elliptical brushes.
- Smoothing: Produces smoother curves in brush strokes. Higher values apply increasing amounts of intelligent smoothing to your strokes.
