Ellipse drawing tool
Ellipse drawing tool
ELLIPSE is a drawing tool capable of drawing filled ellipses and/or ellipse outlines. The ellipse can be rotated.
Ellipse configuration panel
If the Circle option is selected, the width and height of the drawn shape is kept the same.
How to use the Ellipse tool
Press the left mouse button over the canvas, move the mouse and release the button. A new ellipse is created and control handles appear. You can drag the handles to resize the ellipse or circle. The brown control handle can be used to rotate the ellipse.
In a vector layer, the ellipse can be converted to Shape and further refined by selecting Convert to Shape from the Object or the context menus.
Scripting parameters
ELLIPSE tool can be used from scripts. The command in script may have 4 to 6 parameters:
- centerX, centerY - center of the drawn ellipse.
- sizeX - width of the ellipse.
- sizeY (optional) - height of the ellipse; if this argument is missing, sizeY defaults to sizeX resulting in a circle.
- angle (optional) - clockwise rotation of the ellipse in radians (default is 0 radians).
Example
DrawTool.ELLIPSE(Document, 100, 100, 50, 30);
DrawTool.ELLIPSE(Document, 100, 100, 50, 30, 40/180*pi); // ellipse rotated by 40 degrees clockwise
DrawTool.ELLIPSE(Document, 100, 100, 30); // circle with radius of 30 pixelsSee also: DrawTool object, Document object, Rectangle tool

What I would like to do is use a big circle as my text select cursor. I have seen people using this in YouTube videos to kind of focus attention on the text they are referring to and things like that. Theirs are about as big around as the height of say 3 or 4 lines of text in a webpage or document or whatever. I tried making one and it is about as big around as one line width. How would I make this big circle cursor? Thanks

I made the above post, sorry I meant one line height.
You cannot make that big cursors. Some screen recording programs can add that big circle to the video, but it is not the actual cursor, it is just a video enhancement.

I want a yellow circle around my cursor. not 'over' the cursor. :|
If you want the yellow circle "under" the cursor, switch to Paint under mode or use layers.
