Indexing nozzle files
A nozzle file can contain any number of images. Usually, the images are similar and
form a logical series — that is, the images progress along some order. For example, the
images might increase in size or advance in angle. It is not necessary for images to
progress in a logical series, but the Image hose is more effective when they do.
“Indexing” refers to the method used to select particular images from the many images
in a nozzle file. You can apply indexing rules to control the sequencing of nozzle images.
For example, you can set up the nozzle so that by pressing harder with a pressure-
sensitive stylus, you paint with larger images.
Ranks and indexing rules
Image nozzle files can be created with one, two, or three image progressions known as
“ranks.” Corel Painter offers these three rankings, so each nozzle file can be identified as
a 1-Rank, 2-Rank, or 3-Rank nozzle. For more information, see “Creating a 1-Rank
nozzle” on page 446.
The following indexing rules are available for each rank in Corel Painter:
• None returns one element only — the last in the rank.
• Velocity indexes images from the rank based on the speed of the stroke. A faster
stroke delivers elements from later in the rank. Velocity is often used with a mouse
to mimic pressure. Velocity can be difficult to control. For this reason, you might
want to use it in a rank with few elements.
• Direction indexes images from the rank based on the direction of the stroke. The
first item in the rank corresponds to a left-to-right stroke (toward 3 o’clock). As the
stroke direction progresses counterclockwise, the Image hose delivers subsequent
images from the rank. The number of elements in the rank determines the
directional change required to index a different element. For example, a nozzle file
that contains 72 images at progressive angles delivers a different item at every 5° of
stroke direction (360° divided by 72 equals 5°).
