What is the git gui equivalent to "git checkout -b"?

I have a working tree with changes that I don't want to commit to "master" 
yet.  So I want to create a new branch to contain my changes.

If I go to "Branch->Checkout", I don't see an option to create a new branch.

If I go to "Branch->Create", I see an option to "Checkout After Creation", 
but I want to be sure that is the right choice.

Create.

% echo junk >> git-gui.sh
% git status --short --branch
## master
 M git-gui.sh

% git gui # selected Branch, Create, Name=pt/demo, Checkout after Creation
% git status --short --branch
## pt/demo
 M git-gui.sh

If we don't select 'Checkout after Creation' then we don't move to the
new branch. It is created but we remain on master.
