+# Fix: cycle shape render offset
+
+Fix cycle shape offset by adding stroke width to bounds calculation in render/shape.go:
+
+```go
+case "cycle", "circle":
+    radius := math.Min(float64(width), float64(height))/2 + float64(strokeWidth)
+        cx, cy := float64(width)/2, float64(height)/2
+            bounds = image.Rect(int(cx-radius), int(cy-radius), int(cx+radius), int(cy+radius))
+            ```
+
+            Closes #1234
