### 3.3. MyPaint Brushes Dialog

Figure 15.29. The MyPaint Brushes dialog

The « MyPaint Brushes » dialog is used to select a MyPaint brush, for use with painting tools: see the MyPaint Brush tool section for more information on MyPaint brushes and how they are used in GIMP. The dialog also gives you access to several functions for manipulating brushes. You can select a brush by clicking on it in the list: it will then be shown in the Tool Options area of the Toolbox when the MyPaint Brush is the active tool.

#### 3.3.1. Accès au dialogue

La fenêtre du Presse-papiers est une fenêtre ancrable, voyez la section Dialogues, fenêtres et onglets sur l’utilisation des ancrages.

Vous pouvez y accéder :

- From the main menu: Windows → Dockable Dialogs → MyPaint Brushes.

- From the Tab menu in any dockable dialog by clicking on and selecting Add Tab → MyPaint Brushes.

- From the Tool Options dialog for any of the paint tools, by clicking on the MyPaint Brush icon button, you get a popup with similar functionality that permits you to quickly choose a brush from the list; if you click on the button present on the right bottom of the popup, you open the real MyPaint brush dialog.

#### 3.3.2. Using the « MyPaint Brushes » dialog

##### 3.3.2.1. Mode Grille et mode Liste

Dans le menu Onglets, vous avez le choix entre Voir comme une liste et Voir comme une grille. En mode grille, les motifs sont disposés dans un agréable tableau rectangulaire. En mode Liste, les motifs sont alignés verticalement avec leur nom.

Dans le menu d’onglets, l’option Taille des aperçus vous permet d’adapter la taille des aperçus des motifs à votre goût.

En mode grille

  At the top of the dialog appears a filter box where you can filter the MyPaint brushes shown based on their tags; and the name of the currently selected brush.

  In the center a grid view of all available brushes is shown, with the currently selected one outlined. Below the grid is a box that shows the tags assigned to the currently selected brush.

Mode Grille et mode Liste

  For the most part, the dialog works the same way in List mode as in Grid mode, with the following exception: the name of the current brush isn't shown at the top.

##### 3.3.2.2. MyPaint Brush previews

When you click on a brush preview, it becomes the current brush and it gets selected in the MyPaint Brush Tool Options. You can also click on buttons at the bottom of the dialog to perform various actions.

##### 3.3.2.3. Mots-clés

You can use tags to reorganize the MyPaint brushes display. See Section 3.7, « Mots-clés ».

##### 3.3.2.4. Les boutons en bas de la fenêtre

The button bar at the bottom offers the following functionality:

Edit MyPaint Brush

  This button is always disabled since GIMP does not support editing MyPaint brushes. This is also the reason why there is no create new brush button.

Dupliquer la brosse

  This button is always disabled.

Supprimer la brosse

  This button is always disabled.

Actualiser les brosses

  If you add brushes to your personal Brushes Folder or any other folder in your MyPaint brushes search path, this button causes the list to be reloaded, so that the new entries will be available in the dialog.

Some of functions performed by these buttons can also be accessed from the dialog pop-up menu, activated by right-clicking anywhere in the brush grid/list, or by choosing the top item, MyPaint Brushes menu, from the dialog Tab menu.

##### 3.3.2.5. The « MyPaint Brushes » context menu

Right clicking on a brush preview opens a context menu. Most of the commands of this submenu are described with the Buttons, except for the following.

Copy MyPaint Brush Location

  Copy MyPaint Brush Location allows you to copy the MyPaint brush path to the clipboard.

Afficher dans le gestionnaire de fichiers

  Show in File Manager opens the location of the MyPaint brush in the default File Manager on your system.
