Smoothing a freehand line

The slider on the Freehand & Brush Tool Infobar controls how accurately the final line follows your original mouse movements. At 0%, the final line closely follows your original movements. This creates a line with many point handles. Higher percentages insert fewer point handles and produce a less accurate but smoother line.
