CIRCLE (FILL AREA SET)

PXCIRCLE

CALL SEQUENCE

void pxcircle (

Ppoint	*center,	/*X and Y coordinates of the center in MC	*/
Pfloat	radius,	/*radius of the circle in MC	*/
Pint	num_points	/*number of points to generate	*/

)

EFFECT

A Fill Area Set element is created by computing the specified number of points on a circle with the specified center and radius. The fill area set has a single boundary. All Z values are equal to zero.

Depending on the edit mode, the fill area set is inserted into the open structure after the current element or replaces the current element. The newly inserted element becomes the current element.

This function is equivalent to computing the points and using them in a call to the Fill Area Set function (routine pfill_area_set).

ERRORS

5
