The CIRCLE command is used to create circles. Circles in the layers tRestrict, bRestrict, and vRestrict define restricted areas. They should be defined with a width of 0.

The width parameter defines the width of the circle's circumference and is the same parameter as used in the WIRE command. The width can be changed with the command:

CHANGE WIDTH width;
where width is the desired value in the current unit.

A circle defined with a width of 0 will be filled.

Example

GRID inch 1;
CIRCLE (0 0) (1 0);
generates a circle with a radius of 1 inch and the center at the origin.
