    I have the need to create several circles with different numbers of nodes.

    Then using the Markers to build the rest of the project. 

    Example 5" circle with 12 nodes or a 3" circle with 5 nodes.

    I made a small update to https://inkscape.org/~inklinea/%E2%98%85polygon-side

    It will made an ( arc constructed ) circle path with n-nodes.

    You will have to resize the circle afterwards.
