Argh!

So, I have this geometric figure I want to draw on my computer. It consists entirely of circles in proportionate sizes. This exercise would be downright trivial in Geometer's Sketchpad...if I had it. Since I don't, I'm looking for recommendations of programs that are free-ish that are a) precise enough to let me draw concentric and relational circles with proportional (a, 2a, 3a) radii but are b) simple enough that I can use without tutorial from another human being or trolling the internet for forums and help files.

Java-based: ran it and it -looks- sketchpaddy. Was able to make your construction in about six seconds.

More hardcore alternative, *nix and OSX only.

Both showed up for "open source Geometer's Sketchpad" alternatives.
