Smooth Stroke
   Eliminates irregularities in the area of the drawing
   within the brush's influence by smoothing the positions of the points.

Thickness Stroke
   Increase or decrease the points thickness in the area of the drawing
   within the brush's influence.

Strength Stroke
   Increase or decrease the points transparency (alpha) in the area of the drawing
   within the brush's influence.

Randomize Stroke
   Add noise to the strokes in the area of the drawing
   within the brush's influence by moving points location in a random way.

Grab Stroke
   Used to drag a group of points around. Unlike the other brushes,
   Grab does not modify different points as the brush is dragged across the model.
   Instead, Grab selects a group of points on mouse-down, and pulls them to follow the mouse.
   The effect is similar to moving a group of points in Edit Mode with Proportional Editing enabled.

Pull Stroke
   Moves points in the direction of the brush stroke.

Twist Stroke
   Twist the points in counter-clockwise (CCW) or Clockwise (CW) rotation.

Pinch Stroke
   Pulls points towards the center of the brush.
   The inverse setting is Inflate, in which points are pushed away from the center of the brush.

Clone Stroke
   Adds copies of the strokes in the clipboard in the center of the brush.
   You have to copy the selected strokes you want into the clipboard with :kbd:`Ctrl-C` before using the tool.
