# PS\_circle(3)

Draws a circle

## NAME

PS\_circle — Draws a circle

## SYNOPSIS

\#include \<pslib.h\>

void PS\_circle(PSDoc \*psdoc, float x, float y, float radius)

## DESCRIPTION

Draws a circle with its middle point at  (**x**, **y**). The circle starts  and ends at position  (**x**+**radius**,  **y**). If this function is called outside a path it  will start a new path.
