## Adding a Circle tool to your project <a href="#how-to-add-a-bounding-box-tool-to-your-project" id="how-to-add-a-bounding-box-tool-to-your-project"></a>

From the project’s *Settings* tab, enter the *Category Schema* section.

Click on *Add Category*. From the list that appears, click on *Circle*.

A new row will appear named *Circle*. Click on it to expand it.

Give your circle tool a title.

Enable the *Required* toggle if you want to force labelers to create at least one circle for each asset. When the toggle is disabled, labelers will be able to save and move to the next asset without creating circles using the class you've just created.

If you would like to ask labelers further questions, for example, if you want to show a further *radio* after drawing a circle, click on *Add Classification* and add a further question. [More on nested questions here](/labeling/labeling-tools/tools/nested-classifications.md).

## Using the Circle Tool <a href="#how-to-draw-a-bounding-box" id="how-to-draw-a-bounding-box"></a>

Select a *Circle* tool from the *Tools* section in the left sidebar of the labeling editor.

Click three times on the image to create three points. They will form the circle.

To edit the circle, click on it to select it. Then, drag it by using your mouse cursor, or drag each point to edit the circle.

## Data format

{% hint style="warning" %}
In the final export, circles are represented only by the coordinates of the three points used to create them.
{% endhint %}

Please see the page on the Ango Export Format to learn how the circle appears in the final export:

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.imerit.net/labeling/labeling-tools/tools/circle.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
