Circle Layer¶
About Circle Layers¶
Circle layers are used to represent circles =). A circle is the flat
region defined by the inner area of a circle. A circle is a flat line on
which all the points are at the same distance from the center or Origin.
The distance to the center is called Radius.
To create a Circle Layer you would use the Circle Tool. Make a first left mouse button click where the
Origin should go and hold-drag from the center to define the Radius when
you release the left mouse button. The circle will be created with the
current foreground Color.

Specific parameters for Circle Layers¶
Some of the parameters of Circle Layers are common parameter that are shared for several types of Layers. Click on the links to see their definitions. Only the particular parameters for the Circle Layers are described here.
Radius¶
As mentioned before is is the radius of the geometric circle or circumference. It is modified dragging the cyan handle at the edge of the circumference. Although you rotate it it always becomes horizontal.
Origin¶
It is a parameter type Vector that defines the center of the circle/circumference. Just edit its x,y coordinates or drag the green handle to change this value.
