Mal symmetrisk understøttes af penselbaserede værktøjer (blyant, pensel, viskelæder, airbrush, MyPaint-pensel, kloning, udtværing, lysne) samt blækværktøjet. Der er flere former for symmetri, som alle kan konfigureres.
Du kan få adgang til denne dialog fra hovedmenuen via: → → .
Dialogen “Mal symmetrisk” kan dokkes. Se Afsnit 2.3, “Dialoger og dokning” vedrørende dokke.
Dialogen er meget enkel. Du har kun et Symmetri-element med en rulleliste, der tilbyder fire muligheder. Så snart du markerer en symmetritype, vises symmetriakserne som stiplede grønne linjer i billedvinduet, og du kan begynde at male med den valgte pensel.
Indstillinger
This setting determines the type of symmetry painting.
This is the default. It disables symmetry painting.
This type of symmetry will reflect all strokes like in a mirror. There are several types of mirroring. More than one type can be selected.
Mirror Options
Brush strokes will be mirrored across a horizontal axis.
Brush strokes will be mirrored across a vertical axis.
Brush strokes will be inverted through a central point.
When you transform the drawing, the brush itself will end up transformed as well. For instance, in a mirror transform, not only will your drawing on the right side of the canvas be mirrored on the left, but the brush itself is also “flipped” on the left.
If you want the drawn lines to be mirrored (or other transformation), but not the brush outline itself, enable this setting. Obviously, you will only notice the effect of this setting when you use a brush that is not symmetrical.
The default position for symmetry axes is the center of the image. These sliders allow you to change the position used to mirror your brush strokes.
By clicking the lock icon next to the sliders, you can choose whether you want to keep both sliders synchronized or not.
“Tiling” is a translational symmetry, which can be finite (with a maximum of strokes) or infinite. In the latter case, it is the perfect tool to create patterns or seamless tiles.
This mode covers the image with strokes at regular distances on the X and Y axis.
Tiling Options
These are the intervals on the X and Y axis, in pixels, between the centers of each stroke.
This determines the amount of shift between lines on the X axis, in pixels.
These are the maximum number of brush strokes on the X and Y axis that will be painted on the image. The default is 0, which means there is no limit.
By clicking the lock icon next to the sliders, you can choose whether you want to keep both sliders synchronized or not.
Strokes are drawn around the center determined by the options below.
Mandala Options
These coordinates determine the center around which the mandala strokes will be painted.
By clicking the lock icon next to the sliders, you can choose whether you want to keep both sliders synchronized or not.
This determines the amount of strokes that will be performed each time you use a brush.
See the same setting for Mirror symmetry.
When enabled, it mirrors consecutive strokes.
