Brushes

Brush strokes control the appearance of lines - for example, to apply an airbrush effect.
There are two types of brush in Designer Pro.
1. SCATTER brushes repeatedly stamp or scatter shapes from the brush definition at
intervals along a line - you can use feathering, text, extrusions, etc. in scatter brush
definitions.
2. ART brushes stretch or repeat the brush shape, which can be either vector or a
bitmap, along a line.
