Draw a circle
Draws a circle on an existing plot.
draw.circle(x,y,radius,nv=100,border=NULL,col=NA,lty=1,density=NULL, angle=45,lwd=1)
x,y |
Coordinates of the center of the circle. |
radius |
Radius (or radii) of the circle(s) in user units. |
nv |
Number of vertices to draw the circle. |
border |
Color to use for drawing the circumference. |
col |
Color to use for filling the circle. |
lty |
Line type for the circumference. |
density |
Density for patterned fill. See polygon. |
angle |
Angle of patterned fill. See polygon. |
lwd |
Line width for the circumference. |
draw.circle uses the dimensions of the plot and the x and y coordinates to draw a circle rather than an ellipse.
A list with the x and y coordinates of the points on the circumference of the last circle displayed.
