Class Detail
Circle(center,radius)
A circle consists of all points with a given distance from one point. This point is called center, the distance is called radius. A circle can be constructed by providing a center and a point on the circle or a center and a radius (given as a number, function, line, or circle). If the radius is a negative value, its absolute values is taken.

Parameters:
{JXG.Point_number|JXG.Point|JXG.Line|JXG.Circle} center,radius
  The center must be given as a JXG.Point, see JXG.providePoints, but the radius can be given as a number (which will create a circle with a fixed radius), another JXG.Point, a JXG.Line (the distance of start and end point of the line will determine the radius), or another JXG.Circle.

  If the radius is supplied as number or output of a function, its absolute value is taken.

Throws:
{Exception}
  If the element cannot be constructed with the given parent objects an exception is thrown.

Examples:

    // Create a circle providing two points
    var p1 = board.create('point', [2.0, 2.0]),
        p2 = board.create('point', [2.0, 0.0]),
        c1 = board.create('circle', [p1, p2]);

    // Create another circle using the above circle
    var p3 = board.create('point', [3.0, 2.0]),
        c2 = board.create('circle', [p3, c1]);

    // Create a circle providing two points
    var p1 = board.create('point', [2.0, 2.0]),
        c1 = board.create('circle', [p1, 3]);

    // Create another circle using the above circle
    var c2 = board.create('circle', [function() { return [p1.X(), p1.Y() + 1];}, function() { return c1.Radius(); }]);

    var li = board.create('line', [1,1,1], {strokeColor: '#aaaaaa'});
    var reflect = board.create('transform', [li], {type: 'reflect'});

    var c1 = board.create('circle', [[-2,-2], [-2, -1]], {center: {visible:true}});
    var c2 = board.create('circle', [c1, reflect]);
         *

    var t = board.create('transform', [2, 1.5], {type: 'scale'});
    var c1 = board.create('circle', [[1.3, 1.3], [0, 1.3]], {strokeColor: 'black', center: {visible:true}});
    var c2 = board.create('circle', [c1, t], {strokeColor: 'black'});
