No Displacement Variation (left), Medium Displacement Variation (center), and High Displacement Variation (right)
Determines how much the original shape of the path is altered while wiggling. Greater values

Displacement Detail

increase the detail of displacement (or change in shape) in the stroke. Lower values produce less displacement,
leaving the path closer to its original shape.
When Displacement Detail values are set very high, the stroke may not resemble its original shape at all. This is useful
in creating randomly animated strokes.
Low Displacement Detail (left), Medium Displacement Detail (center), and High Displacement Detail (right)
Set the Displacement Detail value by using the slider in the Effect Controls panel (preset to values between 0 and
100) or by clicking the underlined Displacement Detail value and typing a number between 0 and 1000.
Determines how much the Radius and Opacity values of the stroke vary while wiggling. For

Pressure Variation

strokes that have Stylus Radius enabled, the Radius wiggles. For strokes that have Stylus Opacity enabled, the Opacity
wiggles. The amount of variation in either the Radius or Opacity value while wiggling depends on the value specified
for Pressure Variation. The Radius and Opacity settings in the Brush Settings act as maximum amounts, not to be
exceeded while wiggling.
Note: Strokes that do not have either Stylus Radius or Stylus Opacity options selected are not affected by the Wiggle
Pressure Settings. However, these options can be enabled even when a tablet is not installed.
No Pressure Variation (left), Low Pressure Variation (center), and High Pressure Variation (right)
In the Effect Controls panel, set the Pressure Variation value by clicking the underlined Pressure Variation value and
typing a number between -30,000 and 30,000, or by dragging the Pressure Variation slider.
Determines how tight the pressure variation appears along the stroke. Higher values create more

Pressure Detail

dense variations.
