This filter does not provide any option which allows you to set the center point of lines. If you need adjust the place of the radial lines where you want, create another transparent image and apply this filter on it, then add it on your image. Setting large size for the new nova image may help you not to break lines inside of your image.

Any other value will let the starting points be on a circle at the selected distance from the center. The maximum distance is 2000 pixels. The default value is 100 pixels.
