JMP selection shape -- Want a circle/oval instead of rectangle

This seems like a simple but important feature -- how can I change my select shape to an oval instead of rectangle?  I know there is the lasso tool, but i want it restricted to an oval.

I am not aware of a Circle/Oval selection tool

Take a look at KDTable Cloud . Not as simple as a builtin tool, but if you really need it, will suggest a way to make it work.

It is also a great wish list item.

FWIW, I think it wouldn't be too hard to define such a selection tool by adding a graphics script that uses 'DragRect()' which inscribes an ellipse in the rectangle and selects all interior points.
