Feature Request

Since we already have textbox, is it possible to add circle shapes ?

jmcnamara commented 1 year ago

In the past I have avoided adding full support for shapes since there are a lot to support with different features and also connectors. I implemented the text box as the most common shape and to allow the type of comments that people use textboxes for.

There hasn't been sufficient requests for other shapes (except for arrow) and this is the first for circle/oval. So due to the combination of difficulty and low interest this is a "won't fix/implement" for now.
