Brush Type: This pop-up menu lets you choose a Solid, Airbrush, or Image brush to

create the outline.

Solid: The default setting. Creates a solid outline along the shape spline or paint

stroke.

Airbrush: Creates an outline made up of editable brush strokes referred to as dabs.

You can set the dabs to be close together so that the line appears solid, or you can
space the dabs further apart. When Brush Type is set to Airbrush, the Stroke and
Advanced panes become available in the Shape Inspector.
