[QuickTacBeta] even number of dots

[Peter Sullivan]

Hello Lissa,

That's an interesting observation.  I'd never noticed it.

At present, QuickTac simply uses Windows GDI functions (that is, functions
built into Windows itself) to draw the circles.  So what you've observed is
something that I cannot explain or easily modify.  But I'll try -- just
don't expect it in the short term.

I've noticed too that fill circles with no outline (a line width set to 0)
don't have this problem.

If I were to fix the problem, would you want that circles should always have
an odd number of dots on the edge, or should it be sometimes odd and
sometimes even depending on the size of the circle?

- Peter

Hiya,

I noticed that in drawing circles, the sides are an even number of dots,
which makes it impossible to center an "attached" line, as shown in the
attached sample. Can explain this further if not clear.--Lissa
