Click-and-drag live effects 

Access live effects through an intuitive interface allowing you to break away from Illustrator’s numerical control which can be tedious. Simply open the Stylism Panel, select your chosen effect then just click-and-drag and view the live adjustment in realtime. The power of the plugin lies within with the simple ability to adjust artwork visually allowing you to explore new ideas whilst retaining ultimate control.
