Circle depth in percent

  Slider and input box allow you to set the "circularity" of the transformation, from rectangle (0%) to circle (100%).

Offset angle

  This option controls the angle the drawing will start from (0 - 359°), and so turns it around the circle center.

Map backwards

  When this option is checked, the drawing will start from the right instead of the left.

Map from top

  If unchecked, the mapping will put the bottom row in the middle and the top row on the outside. If checked, it will be the opposite.

To polar
