[R] how to draw a circle

[Gabor Csardi]

Fine, than just check every point like suggested below.
(whether (c1-x)^2+(c2-y)^2 < r^2)
and call 'symbols' to add the circle to the plot like this:
symbols(c1, c2, circles=r, inches=FALSE, add=TRUE)

For example, if coords is a two column matrix of the coordinates of the
points: 

################################
coords <- matrix( runif(100), nc=2 )
c1 <- c2 <- 0.5
r <- 0.2

insiders <- apply(coords, 1, 
                   function(co) (c1-co[1])^2+(c2-co[2])^2 < r^2)
plot(coords)
symbols(c1, c2, circles=r, inches=FALSE, add=TRUE)
################################

'insiders' will be a logical vector telling whether the points are inside or
outside the circle.
