Re: Why there is no Circle in a geographic feature

[lee light]

You can turn a cirle to a polygon, this is my java code, you can use the coordinate string for further using.


// num is at least 4, 16 will be similar to a circle
public String getCircle(double X, double Y, double R, int num) {
String circle = "";
if (num < 4)
num = 4;
double x[] = new double[num];
double y[] = new double[num];
double unit = 2*Math.PI / num;
for (int i = 0; i < num; i++) {
x = X + R * Math.sin(unit * i);
y = Y + R * Math.cos(unit * i);
if (i != num - 1)
circle = circle + x + " " + y + ",";
else
circle = circle + x + " " + y;
}

return circle;
}
