Draw a Circle

To draw a circle on a canvas, use the following methods:

  • beginPath() - Begin a path
  • arc(x,y,r,start,end) - Define a circle
  • stroke() - Stroke it

arc(x,y,r,start,end) - creates an arc (a curve).

To create a circle, set start angle to 0 and end angle to 2 * Math.PI.

The x and y parameters define the coordinates of the center of the circle.

The r parameter defines the radius of the circle.
