Creating Circle with Photoshop Script

[30704406yjo7]

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.");

}

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

Thanks you the code work perfectly, but its a little too complex for me to understand, can you help me futher by mark down where to adjust size and position to an anchor layer?

Actually nevermind, I got the gisp, THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤️

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.
