NMR line shape has been constructed for anisotropic type-II supercondu
ctors in tilted magnetic fields, with inclusion of vortex-lattice magn
etic-fie:id nonuniformities and of the skin effect near the supercondu
ctor surface. The NMR line shape parameters are shown to change consid
erably when the external magnetic field changes direction.This makes i
t possible to obtain more detailed information about the characteristi
cs of a superconductor, in particular, its anisotropy parameter. (C) 1
