Re: How to draw a circle ?

[Tom Whittaker <tomw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Using Jython, I would just define the points in an array, and then call 
drawLine with the array.  If you're using Java, then I would suggest you 
construct a Gridded2DSet with a manifold dimension = 1 and put the 
coordinates in there as the "samples".  When you add this Data's 
reference object to your Display, it will render it as a line connecting 
the points (this is how lines are drawn). So...something like this:

float[][] samples = new float[2][361];
// fill up sampls with 361 values -- one degree, for example, around
Gridded2DSet cir = new Gridded2DSet(yourMathType, samples, 361)
DataReference cirref = new DataReference("circle");
cirref.setData(cir.getData());
