Can I propose 2 more options....
1) Pop up dialogue is activated by hotkey (and perhaps on screen widget) -
this approach is used quite successfully in several 3D applications. Usual Tab
or N "numeric" is used.
2) Draw options on canvas - perhaps with hotkey/widget to show hide these
additional options.... This has the additional advantage of not obscuring the
picture while adding numerical input.
I can do some mockups if that makes any of this clearer.

Oh, get ahold of yourself. Nobody's proposing that we parse English.
