These are all ‘functions’ of Hej Stylus! in motion and some general usage tips.
Position smoothing was Hej Stylus!' v1.0 only feature – now free for everybody.
When activated the slider works in 2 dimensions. Up/Down to select the final size of the offset/size. Left/Right to determine the max. value of the slider.
This means you can (by pulling to the left) adjust the slider to have a range of f.e. 10 pixels. Then you can use up/down to fine-tune.
A great new addition to the set! Fast, leightweight, follows up. Comes with a space constant.
1st slider: Smoothing Power
2nd slider: Physics Power
Pro Tip: Combine with tiny amounts of Fluid Position – you’ll see..
This algorithm compares your cursor position to its prior one. Drag the slider a bit to remove small noise – drag it all up to draw straight lines.
Pro Tip: If you need an indicator activate ‘Position Pull’ and pull its slider to zero (all the way down).
Smoothes the twist and/or tilt of your stylus!
Painting with large, rake-like brushes is now more powerful than ever before.
Emulate hart/soft media behavior – even invert pressure.

If you prefer curves over lines I'd suggest this one. It acts even smoother than linear mapping, comes with sticky handles.

Blazing fast, great for various FX. This is for pressure nerds.

Activate the precise angles panel by clicking the icon on top of the panel.
Next comes the visual indication of all the set angles.
The little icons below represent commonly used angle setups to draw in: 90°,45°, 60°, 30°, 15° and 75°.
These shorthands are built in - you can use the presets panel to store your own presets.
The next part of the panel is for entering the angles manually (you can get very specific here).
Set a checkmark and enter a value to activate the angle.
Magnetiser Slider
Pull the slider to the far right to only draw with the set angles.
The less influence of the magnet the more you can ‘drift’ off the set angles.
