circle script

is there a key you can tell gimp to draw a circle that begins in the middle and grows when you move your mouse away from the middle ?

now i have to make a square with guides point the mouse in a corner while holding shift and move it to the upper corner.

Does there exist a perfect circle script with 2 coordinations, the middle of the circle and the radiate of the circle

Yes. Push and hold CTRL while moving the mouse. You can also push SHIFT to make perfect circles instead of ellipses.

Note that you have to push CTRL and/or SHIFT after you push the mouse button down, not before. Using the modifier keys before that changes what happens to the selection in relation to an already existing selection: CTRL subtracst the new selection from the old one, SHIFT adds them together, both CTRL and SHIFT take the intersection.

I don't know about such a script.

Yes. Go to the toolbox, open the Help menu, select "Tip of the day", read all of them. The answer to this and many other questions is contained in these nice tips.
