The Ink tool uses a simulation of an ink pen with a controllable nib to
paint solid brush strokes with an antialiased edge. The
size, shape and angle of the nib can be set to determine how the
strokes will be rendered.

The Opacity slider sets the transparency level for the ink. A
higher opacity setting results in a more opaque fill and a lower
setting results in a more transparent fill.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term">Mode</span>

The Mode dropdown list provides a selection of ink application
modes. A list of these modes can be found in the glossary.

Controls the apparent width of the pen's nib.

<span class="term">Angle</span>

This controls the apparent angle of the pen's nib
relative to horizontal.

<p>
This controls the size of the nib, from minimum to
maximum. Note that a size of 0 does not result in a
nib of size zero, but rather a nib of minimum size.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term">Tilt</span>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Controls the apparent tilt of the nib relative to
horizontal. This control and the Angle control
described above are interrelated. Experimentation is
the best means of learning how to use them.

<span class="term">Speed</span>

<p>
This controls the effective size of the nib as a
function of drawing speed. That is, as with a
physical pen, the faster you draw, the narrower the
line.
