Freehand & Brush Tool - Smoothing Slider

The Smoothing slider on the Freehand & Brush Tool Infobar controls how closely a freehand line follows the original mouse movements. Setting the slider to 100% smoothing will smooth out your mouse movements as much as possible, generating the smallest possible number of points on the resulting line. With the slider set to 0% almost no smoothing is performed, leaving you with a very accurate reproduction of your mouse movements and a great many control points.

After you have drawn a freehand line it is possible to modify the smoothing by dragging the slider, until you make further edits (for example by dragging a point handle). The Refit Indicator displays 'Refit' when you can still smooth the line.

If no freehand line is selected, the slider sets the smoothing for lines drawn with the Freehand & Brush Tool in future.
