Circle

Description of the tool

This tool allows you to add a Redline circle to the map.

How to use the tool

This tool uses a left mouse click to define the centre of the circle, a mouse move to define the circle radius and a left mouse button release to finish drawing the circle. The Redline circle will appear on the map progressively as you are drawing it. 

Prerequisite:

None

Steps:

1. Click on the Redline Circle tool.
    
   
   
2. Place the mouse cursor on the map at the location that you want to be the centre of the circle and hold down the left mouse button as you move the mouse to adjust the circle radius. The radius will be dynamically displayed as you drag out a circle (available from release 2.5.28). 
   
   
   
   
3. Release the left mouse button to finish drawing the circle.
   
   
4. The circle will be drawn according to the current polygon style settings. To set the default Redline polygon style, set the line and fill styles as described in Line Settings & Fill Settings.
    
5. You can also add a label for this newly added Redline circle by typing the required text in the text box at the bottom left of the Redline menu. This label remains part of the Redline so when the Redline circle is moved, the label will move with it.
