| 9 | + |
| 10 | +The top three buttons are the three brush types. By default, it is set to the round type. The square and line types have a context bar option that changes the angle, in degrees. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +## Custom type brushes |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +The bottom button saves the current brush you are using as a custom brush. After you have saved a brush, the menu will display it in the brush menu. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +If your brush is saving blank, you likely saved the brush with incomplete parameters. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +## Custom pattern brushes |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +You can create a custom brush from a pattern by going to *Edit > New Brush* or by pressing <kbd>Ctrl+B</kbd>. You can then choose to copy or cut a portion of the sprite. Upon first selecting the brush, the pattern will be a direct copy of the copied portion. If you select a color, the entire brush shape will become that color. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +When using a pattern brush, a dropdown on the context bar can control how the pattern is drawn. |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +| | | | |
| 34 | +|-|-|- |
| 35 | +| *Pattern aligned to source* | Aligns the pattern to the location it was copied/cut from. |  |
| 36 | +| *Pattern aligned to destination* | Aligns the pattern to where it was placed. |  |
| 37 | +| *Paint brush* | Acts like a regular brush. |  |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | + |
