FreSch Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 hi, I have been looking for a good part of an hour now but couldn't find a solution to my problem. I want to make verical lines in a circle, like you can find in a clock. example: https://imgur.com/a/KVSrGmz all the instructions I've found so far was for illustrator and not for paint. Anyone have any solutions? thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladybug Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 @FreSch, I used the clock plugin found here: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/110883-clock-plugin/. And then I got rid of the items I did not need from the clock. I am sure there is an easier way but that is how I got the image. 1 Quote Click HERE to see my Pictorium of images I have worked on.

FreSch Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 I think I have found a way to get what I want, it isn't easy but it works for now. I make a bunch of vertical lines, then using another layer and the circle tool I cut out the parts of the lines to leave a circle like that. took me a while but yeah, it's kinda annoying.

Djisves Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 @Ladybug's way of using the Clock plugin may be the easiest and fastest. Another way is to duplicate a transparent layer with a vertical line, use Rotate/Zoom (Ctrl+Shift+Z) to rotate (say by 6 degrees), duplicate that layer and rotate that, and continue duplicating and rotating until your rotation reaches the first line, then merge all layers (Flatten, Ctrl+Shift+F). (Rotating by 6 degrees will result in 60 layers, i.e. 60 lines, one for each minute of the hour). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 How about using Circle Text with a long line of the | character at a large font-size? 1 Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladybug Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I know it was not my original post but I like @Ego Eram Reputo's way best. Easy and to the point.
