12  CIRCLES  plot circles at optionally input centers with required input radii.
13  
14           CIRCLES(RAD) draws circles at the origin with radii RAD.
15
16           CIRCLES(XC,YC,RAD) draws circles with radii RAD and with
17           centers at (XC,YC).
18
19  Input  : XC   - x-coord vector of circle centers (optional, See Note 4)
20           YC   - y-coord vector of circle centers (optional, See Note 4)
21           RAD  - vector of circle radii (required)
22           p1,v1... - parameter/value plotting pairs (optional, See Note 4)
23
24  Output : HCIR - vector of handles to circles drawn.
25
26           The parameter/value pairs currently allowed in the CIRCLES
27           function are as follows ( default values appear in {} ) :
28
29                 Color       {'r' = red}
30                 LineStyle   {'-' = solid}
31                 LineWidth   {0.5 points; 1 point = 1/72 inches}
32                 MarkerSize  {6 points}
33
34           See the Matlab Reference Guide entry on the LINE command for
35           a complete description of parameter/value pair specification.
36
37           The idea and some of the constructs used in pv decoding
38           in this routine come from an unreleased MathWorks function
39           called polar2.m written by John L. Galenski III
40           and provided by Jeff Faneuff.
41
42           NOTES: 1) CIRCLES always overlays existing axes, regardless
43                     of the state of 'hold'.
44                  2) CIRCLES does not force the axis to be 'equal'.
45                  3) CIRCLES is a special case of the routine ELLIPSES;
46                     although ELLIPSES can be used to draw circles,
47                     CIRCLES is much faster at drawing circles because
48                     it does not deal with orientation and eccentricity
49                     parameters.
50                  4) If you want to specify parameter/vaule plotting
51                     attributes with circles at the origin, you must pass
52                     CIRCLES 0-vectors for the x- and y- coordinates of
53                     the circles.  If you don't, CIRCLES will not be able
54                     to decode the parameter/value sequence and you will
55                     probably get the following error:
56                                 ??? Error using ==&gt; +
57                                 Matrix dimensions must agree.
58
59  Call as: &gt;&gt; hcir=circles(xc,yc,rad,p1,v1,p2,v2,...)
