TIEPenOptions


Declaration

TIEPenOptions = class;


Description

TImageEnView supports pen/tablet devices for drawing with pressure sensitivity.
This class controls the effects of pen pressure. By default, pen pressure adjusts the opacity (reduces the transparency) of the painting, and pressing the Alt key will simultaneously adjust the brush size.
Holding down the alternative button on the pen will temporarily switch to eraser mode (BrushFill=iebfEraser).

Note: Pointer support requires Delphi 10.3 Rio or newer

Defaults:
BrushSizeEnabled: enAuto (Alt key enables it)
BrushSizeStrength: 0.75
OpacityEnabled: enTrue
OpacityStrength: 0.9


Keyboard Shortcuts

 The Alt key will adjust the brush size if BrushSizeEnabled is enAuto (default)
 The Ctrl key will adjust the brush opacity if OpacityEnabled is enAuto (default is enTrue)
