I think we've all been misunderstanding each other a bit.
Maybe now I get what you're doing though...
You're not calculating the line of sight at all, are you?
I just guessed you were because you called your objects "visible region" not "reachable region" or something like that.
Then for the range, you're just using the euclidean distance, rather than the chebyshev distance - which is why you get a more circular shape (compared to chebyshev which produces a square, or manhattan which produces a diamond).
You can get the same result by increasing the cost of a diagonal move to the squareroot of 2 - which you can do using the pathfinding extension.
I don't personally like this system anyway. As a player, if I have a tank with a movement rating of "5", I want to be able to just count out 5 squares. I don't want to have to mess around finding the sum of the squares of whatever...
I appreciate that it does depend on the game though.
Anyway, it's quite impressive if you've done that without extensions, but you could have saved yourself a lot of effort...

So evidently the squares that you can see are places that can be reached within the specified radius and would test line of sight to those positions independently (i.e you wouldn't attempt to go to a destination that you couldn't see, even though there is a possible path for it). If you are just interested in a region available in the line of sight then that's just an additional restriction of the grid I am displaying. Basically what that means is: you should keep your retarded comments to yourself.
I have no idea what you are talking about, but i never said my example uses line of sight. It clearly doesnt.
Code me a sausage!
