The Ellipse Layer represents an oval or circular shape that can be filled, outlined, and optionally masked. It is a fundamental visual element used for icons, highlights, buttons, or decorative elements within a Layout.

The ellipse’s geometry is defined by its Width and Height properties, which determine its horizontal and vertical radii.

This Layer can be created with the “Draw Ellipse ” tool in the Tool Select Toolbar.

Properties #

This Layer supports all of the universal Layer properties along with some of its own.

Fill #

This property is of the Brush Property type, which allows for color and visual styling of the Layer.

The Fill brush determines how the inside of the shape is rendered.

Stroke #

This property is of the Brush Property type, which allows for color and visual styling of the Layer.

Defines the outline color or style of the Layer, drawing around the border of the ellipse.

Stroke Thickness

Controls the width of the line in the project’s current base units.

Opacity Mask #

This property is of the Brush Property type, which allows for color and visual styling of the Layer.

Applies a mask effect over the ellipse’s rendered content to control how it blends or fades. This can be used to create gradient transparency, fade effects, or highlight shapes.

The opacity mask affects both Fill and Stroke uniformly, without changing geometry.
