Thank you David, I could get the circle at 12 and clockwise however I
believe my solution is not the optimal one, could you help me out with the
best way to generate the circle clockwise at 12 and then convert the
begin/stop to radians

Here is what I tried

par(mar=c(2,2,2,2),xpd=TRUE);
plot(c(1,800),c(1,800),type="n",axes=FALSE,xlab="",ylab="",main="");
DrawCircle (x=400,y=400,r.out = 400, r.in = 400, theta.1=1.57,
theta.2=-2*pi-4.67, lwd=1)
