### Questions Regarding the Flare Tool in Adobe Illustrator

1. **Growth of the Halo**: I came across the term "Specify the Growth of the halo as a percentage of the overall size" in the Adobe Illustrator help documentation. Could you provide a detailed example to clarify how this setting functions?

2. **Longest Ray**: The documentation mentions that "the longest ray is defined as a percentage of the average ray." Can you explain this concept with an example to illustrate how the percentage affects the length of the longest ray?

3. **Largest Ring**: The term "the largest ring as a percentage of the average ring" is used in the context of flare settings. Could you provide an example to demonstrate how adjusting this percentage influences the size of the largest ring?

I'm afraid if you want detailed information on the most useless tool in Illustrator, you might have to be the one to do the in-depth investigation yourself.

Some tools have a broad community knowledge base because they are useful and/or functionally deep. The flare tool is not one of these.

I look forward to your report with interest.
