radius limit for paint tools
The interface for the paintVertexColor and the paintSelection tool ( and probably for all similar tools ) limits the value for the brush radius to 500. The only way I found for increasing the radius to higher values was through mel:
artAttrPaintVertexCtx( "-e", "-radius", 2000, currentCtx() );
artSelectCtx( "-e", "-radius", 2000, currentCtx();


So, are there other, more interactive ways to do that?

Thanks!

you could make a MEL float slider that hooked up to that value:

global proc setBrushSize()
{	
if ( `window -exists setBrushSizer` )
  deleteUI -window setBrushSizer;

string $setBrushSizer = `window setBrushSizer`;
floatSliderGrp -precision 1 -field 1 -min 0 -max 5000 -cc "changeBrushSizeCommand" brushSlider1;
showWindow $setBrushSizer;
}

global proc changeBrushSizeCommand()
{
float $wt = `floatSliderGrp -q -v brushSlider1`;
//set radius to $wt with command
}


I don't quite get the syntax to use that tool so maybe you can figure out the last lines

Thanks for your answer, Dave.
Yes, the slider would be a posssible workaround.
Maybe this would be also a wish for the 'small annoying things to fix'....
