Pixel Circle / Oval Generator

Nice. I like the javascript effects.

If anybody else is interested in a 3d version, I have one over at:

http://oranj.io/blog/voxel-sphere-generator-77

Cheers its a big help
If you are intrested on what im creating check out, minecraftAU.com

Thanks for creating this, will be using this alot in my upcoming builds!

I think it should have an option to download a picture of it and a zoom out button when for my mob arena im working at 223 X 223 its very hard to have to scroll and I end up printscreening it

Thanks so much i just finished my castle useing these designs as the colums!

Is it also possible to create a circle around 4 blocks instead of 1 like here?
thank you very much, extremely useful!

Is there a download to this?

You have my gratitude, this has helped in in more ways than one.

Wow. Thanks, service with a smile there! I'll be sure to refer back to this while I build. You could make a 3-D version for domes and spheres!

Thanks, helped ALOT! Wish there was a way to zoom in, but otherwise fantastic!

This is great, but I pressed filled, and now I can't get it back. Help?

how do i see my result, theres no where to hit enter or something to send my numbers through or something.

This would be a great app that I would defiantly pay 99 cents for. Great design tool!

Could it be possible to make it so we can change the color on the tiles by clicking on them? It'd be a lot easier to know how far you are without having to alt+tab several times in a row to count very tiny pixels!

Also, if you could make it so it shows a cross with the intersection at the middle (2 wide if the number of blocks is even so the intersection is a 2x2 square) it'd be awesome in helping to count how many blocks you need to dig/construct!

Have you considered selling this a s an android/IOs app? also it would be a nice download for a small computer application.

finally learnt how to make a 1x1 circle

could not get this to work using Mozilla Iceweasle (unbranded Firefox)

I am developing a shape builder for the computercraft mod. A few users have mentioned that smaller circles don't look circular, and I agree. Your circles are way better, but I have no experience (other than a node.js hello world) in javascript programming and I can't figure out how your code is figuring out what blocks are in the circle and which aren't. Could you explain in just simple math, or pseudocode? For example the code we use goes block by block in the bounding area. On each block it uses the pythagorean theorem to find distance to the center of that block to the center of the circle, if the distance is in the range radius-(radius+sqrt(3)) it places a block there. I would like to see if I could optimise my method with bits from yours, but like I said, I don't know javascript well enough to interpret. And by the way, I like your program the best out of all of the generators out there, smoothest performance and best looking final results.

BTW Happy one year :)

Would it be possible to graph two at a time? For example, creating a race track would require a circle proportional to another inside the outer one thus needing to graph them at the same time

How do you put it to your minecraft pe once you have designed your thing
Respond back to me

I'm using this to work on a large project in CivCraft. This is a huge help. One suggestion I have is the ability to only show 1/4 of the circle. It's all I'm really using, and since the circle is 193 blocks across, having the rest showing makes it so that I can't see the individual blocks. Two other good suggestions are to have a way of marking blocks you've built already and a way to download a picture of the circle/shape.

Thanks for taking to time to make such a useful program!

@Rumaan just slide the "Scale" slider to the right a bit and use the scroll bars to position it.

I used this to build a great arena

To build a circle in minecraft is a hard task. This took 30sec. to build one

Brilliant! Very easy to use, you saved a ton of time!

I have been using this generator for nearly a year on my phone with no issues. I have been making semi circles in my castle that step up each level so it has a colisseum look. However, every time I load this page, in the box were width and height are, all that's entered in there is NaN. I can't add to or delete it. Rendering this generator useless to mw now, and there are no other generators that work for me. Marvellous.

Cheers mate helped me build my quidditch stadium!!

Thanks for this. I am building a 501 diameter space station in starmade and it would have taken forever to figure out how to build it right without this.

This is one of the most helpful things I've ever found. Thanks!

i kom from holland and i aim to such a program for building round circles for Minecraft

Jesse, thank you so much for sharing your gifts with us. It's wonderful to see the multitude of ideas and creations that people have put together. And with this generator, more ideas will manifest even more easily. Thank you and may our Creator continue to bless you with even more ideas. Cheers and namaste!

thx so helpful wish I could save the image and open it in paint

Thanx alot... this helped alot in my creation :D (y)

can you add something where we can click on pixels to highlight them, or delete them? it got hard remembering where i was making a 111x111 circle.

If you want to save the result to an image there is a way. If you look at the page source or use your browser's "inspect element" on the result, you'll see and svg tag.

<svg id="svg_circle" viewBox="0 0 924 924" height="3000px" width="3000px" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" style="">

from there copy the source to the closing svg tag, including the svg tags

</svg>

Then you can take that and paste it into notepad and save as an SVG file, then you can open it in GIMP or some other software that supports SVG files.

if anyone could send me a really big version of a 1466 lenght circle, that would be great. beacause this is to small to show me the full thing in detail, and i need to know because i am making a replica of deep space nine replica on starmade, thanks for any help i get

Can you create a feature by which you can break the circle or oval in half or quarters? That would help me use it to create the side of a building. You could use checkboxes for top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right quarters to make it more intuitive.

Thanks a ton! I'm at 80% on my Roman Colosseum on my friends server XD

This is not useful i wanted to make my circle have a middle but it never will with this chart

Amazing tool for wannabe minecraft architects.. like me :)

it whould be so cool for an ios app, have you started working on it yet?
also xcode is free to download and use.

I would suggest having it available so you can shade parts of the circle you have already completed, I think this would make it easier for people. I myself have to tab in and out to get the picture of the circle so I can copy it over to the game.I have a terrible memory, so I cannot remember where I left off.

If you were to add this, it would be fantastic. I would very happy if you were to add this.

I like it but I find it meddlesome to have to count out every pixel and for mega build size shapes it doesn't zoom in enough for a block count to double check the accuracy
A text output that tells you how long of strips to build in order

this is extremely helpful for building Starships in starmade :) thx ill never have a crooked USS Enterprise again

I have found this very useful, though I use it for StarMade not Minecraft. It took a LONG time to build my 100*100 circle xD

this is really helpful in my base
which has 20, 40, 80, 160, and 200 size circles

Wow, this is incredibly useful in a project of mine. Making a 505*505 circle is nigh impossible without it. :D

Thank you this has been invaluable to me in my build . the best ideas are always the simple ones

I can't get it go below double digits, every time i completely remove a value form the box a get NAN it I I have to refresh the page.

I just donated to the fund because I use the page so much in Everquest Landmark closed beta testing. The only issue I have is that for REALLY large circles it is very difficult to count out the squares. Is there any way to maybe make a larger picture when the numbers are larger? Thanks for such a useful tool. If only it could do pentagons and dodecahedrons I would be in heaven.

I have been using this for a long time now, and it's been a great help in my builds. A great feature would be if you could only view a 1/4 of the circle if it's a circle or 1/2 if it's an oval as when I'm building circles with a diameter of over 500 I have to zoom in all the way on the scale factor, and then zoom in on the web page just to see the pattern.

But this is amazing, especially useful for the build of Thriller Bark I made, which if I was sane would have been a lot smaller but hey, I wanted it to be to scale so the diameter of the outer walls reached 575.

It would be nice if there was an easy way to count down, because I save and quit and I have to manually count back to where I was on a 720 diameter circle

Thanks! I use it all the time.
Is it possible the Circle Generator could
print out the coordinates of the perimeter pixels, given the center point?

Then I would donate!!!

Helped at building a USS Enterprise :D

Nowhere could I find a chart that would give me a circle with a 253 block diameter (big big build) this thing is amazing and I now have it on my quick access on my kondle

I got frustrated trying to make a big dome (I had only made little ones previously) and a quick google search turned this up. Thanks, man.

I tried to use plots on my tablet so I found you website and I love how I could zoom in like usual thanks a lot.

I'd give you $60 if I had it, but hey, I'm just a loser who plays minecraft :P
keep up hopes though! i mean... like... i guess?

awesome it helped me build a skyblock build

The center line helps a lot! I had to use it to align screencaps of my circle. An option to save as image would be useful.

This tool is great! However, after making 10 circles that steadily get larger and larger, I noticed that the red color of the boxes starts hurting my eyes :( Is there any way to have a color changing option?

Really neat thing! I like it :)
I'd donate you the missing $35 (by the time you are viewing this, it's probably not $35 anymore) if I could...
BTW I like the secret elephant, some really nice ASCII art... :D (poking in the source code :) )

I wish you could see the center point

Can u reference me to a STAR generator? I'm trying to make Hammer Kirby, and I keep srewing up the star, help plz!?

I made a really big thing out of circles.

I am using this for about a week on my kindle fire and I was wondering if you could add a save button that saves it as a image, is an idea. But this is very great thanks so much for letting us use it.

This has really helped me make class spheres using just the 2D circles. All I have a a suggestion is maybe make the little lines that are like a plus sign a little more obvious so it's maybe easier to count for some people to make it easier for them to centre it out? (Like making a huge circular tree or something)

Thanks for making this it really helps me out a lot. I've been using this page for a while and it's helped me build many things. So once again thank you for making this.

Thank you so much, I am building a massive ship in space engineers (291 blocks long) and this has been such a great help!
Also, if anyone wants to save a picture of their circle and are using a mac you can go into the "Grab" program and take pictures of part of your screen.

Just a suggestion here, I dont know if someone said it before.
It would be nice to be able to click and color the blocks so we know what we have built yet.

This has been so helpful to me in my minecraft projects.

One suggestion I would make would be to offer a numerical version so I can see exactly how many blocks I have to lay, in order to make one quarter of of the circle without having to squint and count the pixels on the screen.

I regularly work with circles that are around the 500 diameter range so as you can imagine, figuring out exactly what blocks I need to put down can be grating on my eyes and, if I miscount, my patience.

bruh thx i use this all the time its amazing for al my builds i do for major servers

its very amazing for all my bilding

I don't do Minecraft, but I do Perler Bead crafts (aka Hama beads or Fuse beads). Beads are placed on a peg-studded board to hold them in place, then fused together with heat from an iron when the design is complete. I was trying to make circles on a square grid peg board and having a terrible time--until I found this! THANK YOU!

Thx for this, will be using it in my massive tree on BeastsMC - an epic creative server with freebuild, plots and an awesome community! Join!

Could there be a tool that lets you make rings that have a filled-in circle but have an inner circle cut out?

this is also really useful for another block-based sandbox game called terraria, thanks! but for bigger circles it can be really hard to memorize where you left :(

Can you include something to mark the center? And something to list the radius of the circle?

Hey, I would like to see this one with a center of 2x2 instead of the 1x1. THanks in advance!

Thank you! I was having trouble making a circular arena for my new Ps3 hunger games map! this has helped sooooooooo much.

Will Definately be using this when building my version of The Lost City Of Atlantis map on Ps3. Just wish the lengths were numbered.

Hey thanks I saw this from a YouTube and I needed to make a meteor I'll need this alot

After using this for over a year now, I can say that I love you for this <3

This is a good program for building on terraria.
You. Might add that into your description. This help me build biospheres.thanks!

WOOOOOOAH THIS IS AWSOMEE

Really useful, especially when it comes to world-edit sylinder and circle commands! Thanks a tonne for this!

Hi I'm creating the golden cage asuna is trapped in from sword art online and this is really use full to create the two circles for the birdcage she is trappped in thanx a bunch!

This is a great tool, but if you continue to work on it, you should have the option to generate multiple circles so that you can get an idea of what outer and inner circle's will look like together.

useful for when your creating a circle with a diameter of 699 :)

Hi well done the team love this tool when building. We can finally delete the rubish pixel app that takes up loads of space. Well done buddy.

Thanks so much for this. Can you add a center point so I know where the middle is?

Having a few issues with this program. Trying to create a sphere to encapsulate the spawnable area for hostile mobs (wiki: 128 radius from player). So I doubled the radius to 256 then generate a sphere based on that. Before I started I plotted out 6 points all starting out from the 0/0 axis in the end (which I removed all end stone). Markers were placed exactly 128 bocks up, down, left and right so it covers all X/Y/Z directions. When building the sphere I noticed that the 2D sides did not meet up with my (triple checked) reference points mentioned above. The sphere generated by this program seemed too big ( by quite a sizeable margin I might add). Thinking it was my error I recounted the chart...three times...rebuilt...three times...but still no joy. This is a great generator to make spheres...not denying that....but for really technical mapping it's fairly inaccurate in "true to size" builds. Sorry to rain on your parade but thinking I might add this footnote for other builders like myself thus saving them time. But hey....if your just after a good looking sphere this is the program for you.

Your math is simply bad. If you have a radius of 128 the diameter in pixel universe will be 255, not 256, because one of those blocks is the center. That is your issue.

My circles are mathematically correct. The math in fact is particularly simple.

Egg on face, foot in mouth...comment above humbly retracted. Seems I was factoring in an extra block by mistake. Circles ARE true to size. Big enough to know when I'm wrong. Thanks for the correction.

Thanks alot, this is super helpful in mega-builds, used it both for my laboratory and my castle. it's super effective!

this is really usefull for people who need circles in minecraft, its also usefull for people who play in terraria, like me! but im making a dome on my world, and it would be super useful if you could tick an option that puts a cross in the middle so you know where the middle is, thats my only bad thought on this program

Thx this has helped me a lot

Thanks-I actually used this for space engineers! Just made a ring around my space station.

the only thing i recommend is something that states how much the volume of hte circle will be in my case a 34X34 circle apparently has 912 blocks in it including the sides(probably fudged the maths somehow) other wise great work

What is the math behind this?

THIS SITE IS AMAZING I LIVE IT THANK YOU CREATOR!

Love this works well but my iPad freezers when I go above 600 anyway love it

I am currently working on 1000x1000 and its really hard
and 100x100 for my skyblock
thanks so much it helps me alot

Very nice generator. I used to have to use Neil Fraser Voxel Sphere Generator then find the middle slice to get a circle :o This is a whole lot more convenient.

Only suggestion: Add code so that a block can be highlighted so people won't lose their place while building :)

nice one, this is helpful with some bio-spheres im building. great job and as many people have suggested if you could highlight the squares that would be great.


TIFFANYYYY!

Hello, are there a formula for making a circle in minecraft?

-Tobias

Using it to build a centaur class starship full size. I tried to do the saucer shape by eye but failed critically. This is really useful!

Thanks. I needed this because I was planning on making a floating island in the sky and I wanted it to be circular. Thanks :D

I think the png should be like 1 Block = 1 Pixel.. that would make things a LOT easier.. But still, a great tool!

Its useful however at 3, it creates a square, whereas the red blocks at 3 should disapeear if you wished for something kind of circular.

I'm building the Melbourne star so this is extremely helpful
(search it up its amazing) anyway I needed a 120x120 circle and I was searching through Google and i found this so I'm using it this website is amazing.

Helped so much when finishing my Labyrinth. Other charts from google wouldn't go high enough. Amazingly helpful.

Used this for starbound, somewhere during the 60 minute long creation of my dome in the acid rain of a toxic planet it came out unsymmetrical by 3 blocks. fml.

didnt u used to have a 3d version? i cant find it

Love this... Thank you so much, also is there any way to have layouts for circles in circles, like having more than 1 circle in the same layout in different sizes.

This really helped me when I was building a life size S.T.A.R. Labs model from the flash on Minecraft. Thanks for making it, it's brilliant!

This really helped me when I was building a life size S.T.A.R. Labs model from the flash on Minecraft. Thanks for making it, it's brilliant!

THANKS SO MUCH THIS REALLY HELPED WHEN I WAS BILDING S.T.A.R LABS. I MESSED UP A LITTLE BUT IT TURNED OUT OK.
THANKS AGAIN.

Could you possibly make it work with slabs as well?

using this to build an underwater city in starbound. lit A.F.

Absolutely helpful tool. But there are two points where I would wish for improvement:

1. All one basically needs are quarter circles (ok, even 1/8th of a circle would do, but a quarter is more convenient. An option for that would be fine.

2. It would help immensely if you could change the save option for SVG in a way that one could get SVGs with different diametersat the same scale, so one can join different circles (or quarter circles) in one image by importing them into inkscape.

I found this tremendously helpful. Thank You.

This really helped with my star trek builds on xbox 360 if anyone wants to see search my name into add friends

I've been absent for a while, but now I remember why I used to love this site. Thank you, I'll try and check back more frequently. How frequently you update your site? fkgfeefeadgfbefc

I am a YouTuber who plays on many servers in which i build circles. Next time. I'm gonna be linking this is my description! AMAZING! I'm sorry i cant donate. But hopefully the peeps I tell about this will donate!

I have a base that is a bunch of circular rings, a bit like Mumbo Jumbo's base on the hermitcraft server. Cannot begin to comprehend how amazing this was. Thank you!

perfect for every minecraft platform

This is helping me build my 244 block wide dome of glass!

This is helping me build my 244 block wide dome of glass!

Hello, I wish to donate but do mot have money. But i know about Mumbo Jumbo!

Thank you so so much! You, my friend, are a saint! This is probably the most useful thing I'll ever use for building in Minecraft. Thanks again; keep up the great work.

So dang useful! thanks so much I completed lots of builds with thia.

I love this site have used it in the past for small builds recently I have decided to take on a build which stats with a circle 215 x 215 when I build it I get 3 sides of the circle and the fourth side does not match, I have gone over the pixels and counted out the blocks several times and re-started the process same result everytime I am not understanding this. Very frustrating

Thz really help me with minecraft

Thz this really helped me make my mumbo jumbo air born base

Very usefull tool. Thank you! :)

Sorry for this multicomment, the computer has frozen :P

Coincidentally, we can use this calculator to approximate pi.

Set the calculator to filled circle.
Force it to a circle.
Do the ratio on how many where shaded / how many unshaded.
Muitiply the ratio by 4.

As you can see, the approximation is close to pi.

Plus, I can identify users who are using the tool

1. Users : Do not know about cosine and muitipling it by x and truncating it.
2. Non-users : Know how to truncate cosine * x.

x= Side Length

Is it possible to make a Spiral of Archimedes with this somehow?

Is there a version of this that goes up to 25,000?

how to build thunderbird 2 2015 nose shapes

While I love this generator the png downloads will not open and a preview of them says the file contains nothing :/, love to get some feedback to resolve this problem if anyone else encounters or has encountered it

Excellent tool. even though its effectively a worse version of plotz,this has the default set to 2D AND it works on school wifi.
if your only building circles and are at school,this tool is great. Otherwise just use plotz

Thanks ypfor making this it's helping me make my skyblock islands.

A 200 by 666 oval filled with windows 10 can partially turn your screen black.
I think its funny.

Words can't express how grateful I am. Thank you soooooo much!

Wait, how did you program this?

It would be great if you could include row numbers. On large circles I sometimes get lost, so it would be great to be able to count the rows to work out where I am.

thx a lot!
now i can make my own Imperial City, Ba Sing Se and Minas Tirith!

Thx a lot
Now I can make my huge dome 862 by 862

Ive been using this for cross stitching, the perfect tool!

Yes! Here I come pvp arena for pros!

I suggest building the straight lines first and then using one part of it all the way around so you dont have to look at all four sides, this will help with larger circles.if your using this for minecraft of course!

I'm making a circle that's 170-175 books in diameter and built it up into a sphere and I've read the top comment that would've made it easier to build now can anyone tell me how to tie a noose so I can hang myself.

This is a fantasic help for making great build inside minecraft however i would have to say i wish it would mark outs the center of the circle

Anyone else with you could color it???

I was doing the base which Mumbo Jumbo already did in Hermitcraft s4 but it was 54x54. For some reason i thought that 54:2=24... Yep, im retarded xD So i wasted like 4 hours on this. One tip: never build circles while youre sleepy

The center is marked out if you input an odd number, even numbers cannot have a center that is a single block inbetween others.

i agree, colors would indeed be nice, young padawan. often I find myself losing count then having to go back, only to lose count again.

using this not for minecraft but for cosmoteer to make a halo ring and other halo ships

Great tool! I Love it! It really helped on my build, would've like if it had a download image button. Thanks for making this!

I love the circle generator, I have used it on hundreds of circles and it has helped me a lot in my builds

Now to come up with a floor design to fit this awesome size 51 circle.

Helped me with making an airport

This is cool

Thanks this help alot

This helped me a lot while I was building a huge circle. all the other websites wouldn't work and when I came to this one I was so happy.

it helped me a lot and I really enjoyed being able to use it, altho I was wondering, why is the height of the iframe 810px?

it has been really bugging me to have to scroll up and down the iframe containing the script. Just making it about 870px high wouldnt require the need to scroll in the box itself (which is useless and annoying

other than that nice job on script

The only problem I have here is that when I downloaded it I expected it without the graph part, so I could insert it into a paint program, but since the graph is there a 144 pixel circle turns out as a 720 pixel image and has the graph. I'd like an option to get a raw pixel circle image.

useful for minecraft projects involving circles and some pixel art

Thanks for this tool, useful for many games with block based building, using this to build battleship turrets in From the Depths at the moment. Thank you would have had no idea where to start with a 31 diameter circle!

thanks i'll use this to build the UA dome (My Hero Academia)

finally a website that won't give me a virus now I can make my minecraft drone!!.,

I really like it. Can I use it for my website?

https://www.udslife.com

I'm building a biome bubble in Terraria!

Thank you so much. This has been a lifesaver for the airship I'm building.

Thank you so much for this tool! I have used this on countless occasions both for Minecraft and for just needing a circle for something.

This tool is amazing! I have no idea how you made it (black magic?), but it is very easy to use and well made!
