Basic Graphics > Circle

A circle is defined as a closed curve of constant distance from a point. It can be transformed into an ellipse and also has associated attributes, such as wedge angles and graphic attributes. The figure below shows some examples of a circle.

Standard Operations

To create a circle bring forward the Graphic Selector, click the circle factory cell and then mouse down on a Graphic View and drag the cursor to another point. The initial and final cursor locations define the boundary of a normal-form ellipse. If the width and height are the same then it is a circle.

You can also create circles from the standard Palette > Basics > Circles menu item.

Resizing and rotating the circle transforms it to an ellipse. Defining different start or end wedge angles transforms the circle (or ellipse) into a pie-section. For more information see Standard Editing.
