The Circle annotation tool draws a circle with the starting point as center.
All other tools - including the ellipse - use the starting point as the corner.

So the circle behaves differently to the rest and is therefor unexpected bahavior = user-unfriendly.

It would be nice if the circle tool would also drag and size from corner, like the ellipse tool.

And to have the circle, ellipse, line and rectangle tools use the starting point as center when shift is pressed (preferred behavior is being able to switch/toggle during drag).

Hi Peter,

Thanks a lot for your suggestions. DuckCapture is under active improvement. For ellipse and circle, I'm providing 2 different creating methods for convenience. For different drag behavior when shift/ctrl/alt pressed, it's certainly under consideration.

Thanks,
Mason
