Stroke Menu¶
This page covers many of the tools in the Strokes menu. These are tools that work primarily on strokes, however, some also work with point selections.

Simplify¶
Riferimento
- Modalità:
Modalità Modifica

The number of times to repeat the procedure.
Adaptive¶
Riferimento
- Modalità:
Modalità Modifica

Sample¶
Riferimento
- Modalità:
Modalità Modifica
- Menù:
Stroke ‣ Simplify – Sample
Recreates the stroke geometry with a predefined length between points.
- Length
The distance between points on the recreated stroke. Smaller values will require more points to recreate the stroke, while larger values will result in fewer points needed to recreate the curve.
Merge¶
Riferimento
- Modalità:
Modalità Modifica
- Menù:
Stroke ‣ Simplify – Merge
Simplifies the stroke by merging points that are closer than the specified distance.
