a circle on a spherical plot: the small circle of the opening angle about a direction, the great circle by default

Syntax

circle(n)

The great circle perpendicular to n.

circle(n, 30*degree)

The small circle 30 degree about n.

circle(n, 20*degree, add2all=True, lineColor='r')

Onto every spherical plot of the figure.

Description

The circle annotates the spherical plot drawn last, or the one nextAxis chose; draw the plot first. A circle leaving the chart is broken where it does. Several directions give several circles.

Input

`v`	vector3d, the centre, one or several
`radius`	the opening angle about v in radians, pi/2 for the great circle

Keywords

keyword	default	description
`add2all`	`False`	draw onto every spherical plot of the figure
`lineColor`	`'k'`	the colour of the line
`lineWidth`	`1.5`	the width of the line
`edgeAlpha`	`1.0`	the opacity of the line
`parent`	`None`	the axes, or a list of them, to draw onto

Output

`h`	the matplotlib lines, one per circle and axes
