Creating Circle with Photoshop Script

Question

I dont know why but I always ran into error when trying to add shape
never ran into any problem when adding text, can someone help and send me a script to
"Draw an ellipse shape that have the position and radius of the selected layer"
ran into problem at ellipseLayer.kind = LayerKind.ELLIPSE;

// Check if there is an active document

if (app.activeDocument) {

// Get the bounds of the selected layer

var selectedLayer = app.activeDocument.activeLayer;

var bounds = selectedLayer.bounds;

// Calculate the center and radius of the ellipse

var centerX = (bounds[0] + bounds[2]) / 2;

var centerY = (bounds[1] + bounds[3]) / 2;

var radiusX = (bounds[2] - bounds[0]) / 2;

var radiusY = (bounds[3] - bounds[1]) / 2;

// Create a new ellipse shape layer

var ellipseLayer = app.activeDocument.artLayers.add();

ellipseLayer.kind = LayerKind.ELLIPSE;

ellipseLayer.bounds = [centerX - radiusX, centerY - radiusY, centerX + radiusX, centerY + radiusY];

// Optional: You can customize the properties of the ellipse layer here

// For example, set the fill color

var fillColor = new SolidColor();

fillColor.rgb.red = 255;

fillColor.rgb.green = 0;

fill Color.rgb.blue = 0;

ellipseLayer.fillColor = fillColor;

// Optional: You can add more customization as needed

// Deselect the ellipse layer

app.activeDocument.selection.deselect();

} else {

alert("No active document found.");

}

Good to hear!

I cleaned up the function a little more and now it takes arguments for the Stroke Width and Color, too. (Stroke Width 0 meaning no Stroke.)

It should probably also include the option for no Fill and just a Stroke … but if you should ever need that maybe you can figure the necessary changes out yourself or post again.

You could clean this code up further, but the function »ellipseShapeLayer« itself should work fine.
