enumIGFXBrushType, smoothness As Long, BkColor As IGPixel)

Parameters:

Name	Description
Page	IGPage Object to which to apply the effect.
PointSize	Average size of each point (in pixels).
BrushType	Type of brush to use for each point. Determines the shape of the point.
smoothness	Smoothness factor for each point. This value typically ranges from 0 to 100.
