Symmetry

 
Symmetry is active only when Edge Align is selected. If Edge Align is not selected Symmetry does nothing. When Edge Align is selected the frame is divided into four separate sides (left, top, right and bottom) and Symmetry changes how the texture is painted in the top and bottom relative to each other and in the left and right sides relative to each other.

When Symmetry is not selected the top and bottom of the frame are mirror images of each other and the left and right are mirror images of each other. When Symmetry is selected, the painting direction of the right side and bottom are reversed. The painting directions are illustrated below.

Note that Skew should be set to 0 for the opposite frame sides to be exact mirror images, otherwise Skew will unbalance the mirror symmetry. The following example shows the two symmetry selections for a wood texture frame (Skew is 0).
