GMX-PhotoPainter Styles has a lot of parameters, the following table serves as a refence.

Style Parameters

GMX-PhotoPainter - Styles parameter table
Legend
  This parameter is important!
  While the parameter it's important, it can't be considered a "Basic" parameter.
  Not frequent, but useful.
  Rarely used parameter.
General Settings
Brush Width Controls the width of the brushstrokes. In Bitmap Brushes and Bristle Brushes, as more width, less detail in the drawing. For an explanation on how the width works in Pen and Ink mode see: Other parameter that affects Pen and Ink Mode
Transparency Control the transparency of the brushstrokes. In Bitmap Brushes and Bristle Brushes, as more transparent more blurred is the result, on the opposite, not transparent may lead to harsh results. For an explanation on how the transparency works in Pen and Ink mode see: Other parameter that affects Pen and Ink Mode
Brush Length Controls the length of the brushstrokes. In Bitmap Brushes and Bristle Brushes, as more length, less detail in the drawing. For an explanation on how the length works in Pen and Ink mode see: Other parameter that affects Pen and Ink Mode

Size & Density
Size Determines size of the area affected by the drawing tools
Density Determines the number of strokes drawn per click or mouse movement.
IMPORTANT: High values of Density will make GMX to draw very slow!
Other Parameters
Precision It determines with which precision are respected changes of intensities. A high precision will adapt better the tonalities of source image, but it can produce unreal strokes, while a low precision produces images with indefinite contours and sketch aspect.
Scan Width Defines the precision of the color of the brushstroke. Large values results in colors more approximated to the original image, but tends to be slower, on the other hand low values result in color less approximated to the original image
Border Limit It allows you to draw only the edges of the image. Small values will limit the area of the image allowing only the edges, great values will allow to draw the strokes over all regions of the image.
Gradient Brushes

See Gradient Brushes
Stop on Borders If checked, the strokes will stop in the borders of the image.
Straight Lines If checked, the strokes won't be curved. This effect is more visible when you select large brushstroke lengths.
Vectorial Brush Reserved for future use.
Optimum Resampling Sets an optimum resampling algorithm to be used in each brushstroke drawing. Currently it's too slow to be used in real scenarios.
Bristle Brushes
None This is the default, if this option is checked, it means that the current brush is not in the Bristle Brush Mode.
Fluff See Bristle Brushes section
Large threads See Bristle Brushes section
Short threads See Bristle Brushes section
Dots See Bristle Brushes section
Pen and Ink
Frequency See The Frequency Parameter in the Pen and Ink Tutorial
Lightness See The Lightness Parameter in the Pen and Ink Tutorial
Straight Lines

See The Straight Lines Check box in the Pen and Ink Tutorial
