Circle

Usage

Circle[{x, y}, r] is a two-dimensional graphics primitive that represents a circle of radius r centered at the point x, y.
Circle[{x, y}, { ,  }] gives an ellipse with semi-axes  and  .
Circle[{x, y}, r, { ,  }] represents a circular arc.


Notes

• Angles are measured in radians counterclockwise from the positive  direction.
Circle[{x, y}, { ,  }, { ,  }] yields a segment of an ellipse obtained by transforming a circular arc with the specified starting and ending angles.
Scaled[{ ,  }] or Scaled[{ ,  }, { ,  }] can be used in the radius specification. The  are in scaled coordinates, and the  are in ordinary coordinates.
Offset[{ ,  }] can be used to specify radii in printer's points.
• The thickness of the circle can be specified using the Thickness primitive.
• See also: Disk.
• New in Version 2; modified in 3.
