[R] how to draw a circle

[Gabor Csardi]

Hmmm, could you explain this a bit? 
You want to add a circle to a plot? See the examples in help(symbols)

Or you want to calculate the coordinates of the points on a circle?

t <- seq(0,2*pi,length=100)
coords <- t(rbind( 10+sin(t)*2, 20+cos(t)*2))
plot(coords)

Here (10,20) is the center of the circle, and 2 is its radius.
If you set length to a bigger number you'll get smoother resolution.

A points (x,y) is inside the circle if (c1-x)^2+(c2-y)^2 < r^2
(c1, c2) is the center of the circle, r is its radius.
