What is a VBR file?

VBR files mostly belong to GIMP by The GIMP Team. VBR is the filename extension of parametric brushes created with the Brush Editor component of GIMP graphics editor. GIMP parametric brushes are used to apply digital paint to a canvas by emulating dry media such as charcoal, color pencil, crayon, paintbrush, airbrush, pastel, and chalk. VBR files containing parametric brushes are stored in the /share/gimp/version/brushes/ folder of the directory where GIMP is installed. The default shapes of brushes are square, round, and diamond. However, you may customize each brush to your preferred shape, aspect ratio, size, opacity, and sharpness. VBR is also the filename extension of files containing remote automation registration data used by Visual Basic programming language. Some data used by HELI-X and VBarControl Touch flight control simulators are saved in VBR files which can be edited with the VBar software for computers. VBR is also the filename extension of an obsolete audio file format used on MacOS.
