David Fanning gave good tips for the original post from David
Kennedy and supplied source code to return circle coordinates.
The code uses a for loop to calculate the coordinates. It is
generally better to use IDL's implicit array handling.
An IDL function using my preferred method would look like:

function circle, xcenter, ycenter, radius
a = (2*!pi/99.)*findgen(100)
x = xcenter + radius * cos(a)
y = ycenter + radius * sin(a)
return, transpose([[x],[y]])
end

Best regards
Kevin
