Circle container instead of rounded rectangles #5

Hello,

Can we have circle containers instead of rounded rectangles?

nylen commented 10 years ago

I chose rectangles because:

Circles would not pack into a layout as well
There would be more wasted space in between the text and the shape boundary
It's harder to wrap text inside a circle

If the markers were circles, the code for collision detection and arrow length would also need to be reworked. It's doable, but I don't have time to work on it right now.
