request: alternate oval drawing mode

[terminoid]

would be really nice to be able to draw shapes like this with the oval tool:

any chance that could be added? or let me add it myself? =)

cheers, thx for Rex

Hey terminoid! Hm... just how many of these ovals are we drawing here

I guess it could define rounder corners using a ratio of the length of the side, which would essentially have to be set in a file since currently tools don't support in-program adjustments (that and other tool types would more likely a REXPaint 2.0 thing), unless it were given a hotkey but don't really want to consume one of those for something like this...

If it's just smaller numbers / occasionally though, with this it'd be fast to draw a square, one corner as desired, then use four-way paste rotation to quickly fill in all the other three corners. Did you consider that approach? (For stuff like this, having used many other drawing tools I might immediately think of what they have as automated features, being more widely used, but then just find some other solution within the existing tools.) Could be problematic if you're not using layers, or do such an oval last/later, of course.

I think I'll mark this one down for consideration among the wider REXPaint 2.0 feature set. (Not working on it right now, but it's planned.)
