Once you’ve painted using the Stroke or Polyline stroke type, you can change the look of the stroke by selecting it and updating the parameters in the Inspector. Selecting the stroke requires you to switch to the selection tool in the Paint toolbar above the viewer. Using the Paint node’s selection tool, you can either click once on a stroke or drag a bounding box around a stroke to select it for editing.

Although you can make changes in the Tools tab in the Inspector, the Paint node uses both the Tools tab and the Modifiers tab. In the Tools tab, you can create new brush strokes and select a stroke in the viewer to edit. The Modifiers tab presents a list of all the strokes for the selected Paint node, which makes it easy to modify any previously created paint stroke.
