Tile Settings

Tile shapes have two categories of control: Dimensions and Randomness. Use the Settings menu to choose which category you want to change.

Dimensions

The Dimensions sliders let you control the basic size of the tiles and grout spacing.

Use the Dimensions sliders to control size and spacing of the tiles. Top=3.9, bottom=27.9.

Width Dimensions

Width sets the width of the tiles in pixels.

The Dimensions: Width slider controls the width of the tiles. Top=3.5, bottom=30.4.

Length Dimensions

Length sets the length of the tiles in pixels.

The Dimensions: Length slider controls the length of the tiles. Top=4.1, bottom=24.2.

Pressure

Tile width depends on stylus pressure. The Pressure slider allows you to control the width variance under differently weighted strokes.

With the Pressure slider set at zero, a light stroke produces narrow tiles and a heavier stroke creates wider tiles.

Increasing the Pressure slider increases the effect of pressure on the width of the tiles. By increasing the Pressure setting, you can prevent the creation of narrow tiles in response to a light stroke. Setting Pressure to 100% creates uniformly wide tiles, regardless of the pressure.

The Dimensions: Pressure slider controls how pressure affects tile width. Top 0%, bottom=100%.

Grout Dimensions

Grout sets the spacing between tiles in pixels.

The Dimensions: Grout slider controls the spacing between tiles. Top=0%, bottom=15%.

Randomness

The Randomness sliders allow you to control the uniformity of the tile shapes. Increasing randomness makes the shapes more erratic-each different from the last.

For example, if the Length dimension is 10 pixels, a Length randomness of 25% creates tiles that are randomly given a length from the range of 7.5 to 12.5 pixels.

Width Randomness

Increasing Width randomness allows the width to vary by the set percentage.

The Randomness: Width slider controls the randomized tile width. Width=92%.

Length Randomness

Increasing Length randomness allows the length to vary by the set percentage.

The Randomness: Length slider controls the randomized tile length. Length=98%.

Cut Randomness

With Cut randomness set to 0, the edges of the tile are created perpendicularly to the stroke. Increasing Cut randomness allows the angle of the tile ends to vary.

The Randomness: Cut slider controls angle of the end tiles. Cut=90°.

Grout Randomness

Increasing Grout randomness allows the spacing between tiles to vary by the set percentage.

The Randomness: Grout slider controls the randomness of the spacing between tiles. Grout=100%.
