   Paint options.

The Weight Paint Options modify the overall brush behavior:

Restrict
   This option limits the influence of painting to vertices (even with weight 0)
   belonging to the selected vertex group.
X Mirror
   Use the X Mirror option for mirrored painting on groups that have symmetrical names,
   like with extension ".R"/ ".L" or "_R" / "_L". If a group has no mirrored counterpart,
   it will paint symmetrically on the active group itself.
   You can read more about the naming convention in
   :ref:`Editing Armatures: Naming conventions <armature-editing-naming-conventions>`.
   The convention for armatures/bones apply here as well.
Topology Mirror
   Use topology-based mirroring, for when both sides of a mesh have matching mirrored topology.
   See :ref:`here <modeling_meshes_editing_topology-mirror>` for more information.
Unified Settings
   The *Size*, *Strength* and *Weight* of the brush can be set to be shared
   across different brushes, as opposed to per brush.
