Circle

Generates a closed elliptical path. The simplest shape node: just scale X and Y to control size and aspect ratio.

Inputs

PortTypeDefaultRangeDescription
Scale XScalar0.50–1Horizontal radius
Scale YScalar0.50–1Vertical radius

Outputs

PortTypeDescription
FrameFrameClosed elliptical path

Controls

Resolution: Low, Medium, High, or Very High. Sets how many points are sampled around the curve.

Ideas

  • Modulate Scale X and Scale Y independently with oscillators at different rates for morphing ellipses.
  • Wire an Oscillator into both scales for a breathing circle that pulses in and out.
  • Use as a base shape for the Dotter node to create evenly-spaced dot patterns on a ring.
  • Square: rectangle with optional rounding
  • Polygon: regular polygon with variable sides
  • Dotter: convert the circle path to dot patterns
