[Circles centered at source of drag]

Thanks very much for all your hints

Your time was much appreciated.

[Circles centered at source of drag]

The circle tool, in the standard paint.net tool set, anchors the a circle at the corners of the circle's "bounding box".

So when you want to draw a circle around a certain point - you have to center the circle yourself

I want to have the circles anchored to the point that I start the drag (centered at the point I hold down the mouse to start the drag).

If you imagine wanting to drawn a target (concentric circles) - you'll get the idea.

I cannot see a way to do this automatically in paint.net.

I have had a search in the forum & also looked at the plugin index and cannot see anything helpful.

Anyone help?
