Syntax:

Sub EffectTool(ByVal BrushID As Long, ByVal TypeID As Long, ByVal MergeMode As Long, ByVal Amount As Long, ByVal NibShape As Long, ByVal Size As Long, ByVal Transparency As Long, ByVal Rotate As Long, ByVal Flatten As Long, ByVal SoftEdge As Long)

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
BrushID	Long	Specifies, by index number, the brush to use
TypeID	Long	Specifies, by index number, the type of brush stroke
MergeMode	Long	Specifies the merge mode:
Amount	Long	Specifies the rate at which the effect or paint is applied to the image. Valid values range from 1 to 100, where a higher value results in a more pronounced effect or heavier application of paint.
NibShape	Long	Specifies the shape of the nib:
Size	Long	Specifies the brush size
Transparency	Long	Specifies the transparency of the brush stroke. Valid values range from 0 to 99%.
Rotate	Long	Specifies the angle at which the nib is rotated. Valid values range from 0 to 360 degrees.
Flatten	Long	Specifies the flatness of the nib. Valid values range from 0 to 99.
SoftEdge	Long	Specifies the transparency of the edges of the nib. Valid values range from 0 to 100%, where lower values affect only the rim of the stroke, while higher values expand the soft edge toward the center of the stroke.

Remarks:

The EffectTool method applies an effect stroke along a path, as defined by a series of CorelScript.StartDraw and CorelScript.ContinueDraw commands.

An EffectTool command block must end with a CorelScript.EndDraw command.
