# Direction of the Brush

The Direction mode uses the direction of the brush stroke as the reference.

When used with the Direction mode, the Direction attribute causes the brush strokes to follow the trajectory of the brush. Increase the percentage value to enhance the effect on brush direction.

Drag: | To:
--- | ---
Right | Use 100% of the attribute value.
Left | Use 0% of the attribute value.
Up | Use 25% of the attribute value.
Down | Use 75% of the attribute value.
