Offset Angle: This option controlles the angle the drawing will start from (0 - 359┬░), and so turns it around the circle center.
Map Backwards: When this option is checked, the drawing will start from the right instead of the left.
Map from Top: If unchecked, the mapping will put the bottom row in the middle and the top row on the outside. If checked, it will be the opposite.
To Polar: If unchecked, the image will be circularly mapped into a rectangle (odd effect). If checked, the image will be mapped into a circle.
