Since the Art Pen of the Intuos4 tablet has rotation support, it would be nice if you could see what angle the brush has before making a stroke. You cannot easily determine it since the Art Pen is completely round like the standard Pen. The only orientation point is the pen button.

Reproducible: Always

The problem is that the rotation of the outline is determined by sensors. E.g. you can set the rotation to fuzzy (a.k.a. random) and the Art Pen rotation can be turned off. Then the art pen rotation is irrelevant, so we can't just take directly the art pen rotation.

Sensors exist only when paintop is created currently. In Hover mode, nor paintop nor sensors are created currently. The sensors has to be initialized according the current preset and then we can show the rotation correctly in hover mode.Tricky for sure.

Outliner rotation in over mode

Now there is cool tilting brush preset, I feel frustrated to not have 'outliner' feedback while using Cintiq or Intuos. I attached this picture http://i.imgur.com/gvcaKBn.jpg . Showing the desired effect and the issue.
