    Hi,

     

    right now I'm having the problem that when I draw a circle, it isn't entirely closed. How can I draw completely closed circles without a gap? Do I have to use the XML editor? Where can I adjust that the circle is closed?

     

    TIA,

    Thanks for your response. Now the problem is gone, but I would like to know if it can also be solved using the XML editor, like setting 'open' to 'false' and 'type' to 'circle' (see here).

    I don´ think that gonna work because a whole circle is described by its location, diameter, fill+stroke while an open circle contains start+end points where a horizontally half circle starts at "0" and end at 3.1415927 which is 𝜋. The formula escapes me but you might get the idea.
