Width Over Stroke: This mini-curve editor allows you to customize the width of the dabs
over the length of the stroke. You can create a curve that gradually increases the dabs’
width over the length of the stroke, create a curve that varies the dabs’ width over the
length of the stroke, and so on. Select or add a keyframe in the graph to make changes
to the Width Over Stroke and Stroke Length parameters. The start value for the dab width
is based on the value set in the Width parameter in the Style pane. For more on using
the mini-curve editor, see
Mini-Curve Editor .
Two controls let you fine-tune the curve in the graph:
• Width Over Stroke: Use the sliders or enter a number in the value field to change the
value of the selected keyframe.
