Is it possible to draw a circle within MarvinSketch (5.0.0.6.1)?





There are rectangle and polyline options. With polyline I can make an oval, but not a circle.





I want a circle to highlight atoms of interest.





Thanks

It is not easy but you can do it with some trick:





1st way:


Draw a line. Grab its midpoint and drag it to do a half-circle. After select it and copy. Then rotate it with 180 degree and paste the clipboard contant.


Glue the two half-circle.





2nd way:


Draw a line and create an arc with about 320 degree from it (by dragging its midpoint. Grab an endpoint of the arc and drag it on the other one. Now, you have got a small circle. By moving the midpoint of the arc, you can change the radius of the circle.
