This menu just appears when you are in Mask mode.

In this menu you can create circle or square spline curves to use them for masking. They appear at the 2D cursor, and have four handlers.

They can be moved, rotated and resized with the usual W E R keys. See also mask menu, Transform. The handlers allows to change the shape and size too.

You can add multiple spline curves to a mask layer.
