Hi all, I'm using GIMP 2.10.8  on  Mac 0S Sierra 10.12.2.  

How can I create a series of lines that radiate from the canvas center, and mark out equal segments of a circle? (I've put in place a horizontal and vertical guide, with the snap to guides turned on)

I've drawn two line segments, one that crosses the center of the canvas, and one that begins in the center of the canvas.  But the rotate tool is based on a point in the center of my line segment.  

ps - there is a video that shows how to do something like this, but there is no sound (!) and my eyes aren't good enough to see what s/he is actually doing. (I hope in this case it's ok I'm posting a link, I think it's the best way to explain)

Thank you very much
Hikaru


(I have some experience using photoshop, and I've made a flyer and a business card so far with GIMP.)

One of the many things you can do with my ofn-path-to-shape plugin.

If this is for some kind of dial I also have scripts for thisSmile
