CIRCLE Draw Ellipse on Screen
CIRCLE [STEP] (x,y), radius [,[color] [,[start],[end][,aspect]]]
Draws an ellipse on the screen.
STEP If included, coordinates are relative to last graphics
point referenced (LPR). If omitted, coordinates are
absolute.
x,y The center (column, row) of the ellipse in pixels.
radius Length, in pixels, of the major axis (the radius, in the
case of a circle).
color Color in which the ellipse is drawn. Defaults to 3 in
medium resolution, 1 in high resolution.
start Starting angle of arc, in radians. Defaults to 0.
end Ending angle of arc, in radians. Defaults to 2..
aspect Ratio, in pixels, of the x radius to the y radius.
Defaults to 5/6 in medium resolution, 5/12 in high
resolution; these values generate a circle on the CGA.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Omitting start and end will draw a complete circle.
If negative values for start and end are given, the end
points of the resulting arc are connected to the center
point, thus creating pie-chart wedges.
After a CIRCLE statement has been executed, the "last
point referenced" (LPR) is the center of the ellipse.
