Circle
</H3>
Syntax:
<BR>
<PRE>
set object <index> circle {at|center} <position> size <radius>
{arc [<begin>:<end>]}
{<other-object-properties>}
</PRE>
<BR>
<P>
The position of the circle is specified by giving the position of the center
center followed by the radius. The keywords <B>at</B> and <B>center</B> are synonyms.
The position and radius may be given in x-axis, graph, or canvas
coordinates. See <B>coordinates (p. <A HREF="node18.html#coordinates"><IMG ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="1" ALT="[*]" SRC="crossref.png"></A>)<A NAME="5618"></A></B>. In all cases the radius is calculated
relative to the horizontal scale of the axis, graph, or canvas. Any
disparity between the horizontal and vertical scaling will be corrected for
so that the result is always a circle.
<P>
By default a full circle is drawn. The optional qualifier <B>arc</B> specifies
a starting angle and ending angle, in degrees, for one arc of the circle.
The arc is always drawn counterclockwise.
