Properties of a Circle

This is the properties dialog of a circle with fixed radius. Besides the usual stuff, there is the field to enter the radius. If the radius is not fixed, the user can drag the circle to a new size. The size can be taken from another circle, an expression, two points, or a segment with the button "Set Size ...". This will fill the radius field with a proper expression.

To show the circle as an arc only, use the button "Set Arc ...". Choosing two points will limit the arc between these points. If the third icon in the last row is not active, the shortest arc will be used. Otherwise, the arc will be in mathematically positive orientation. If the circle is filled, the arc will either display as a pie or as a cap, depending on the fourth icon in the last row.

Circle can be shown with the relevant parts only. Enable the first icon in the last row to do this.
