Explanation:
GCBASIC can draw circles using the midpoint circle algorithm. The midpoint circle algorithm determines the points needed for drawing a circle. The algorithm is a variant of Bresenham’s line algorithm, and is thus sometimes known as Bresenham’s circle algorithm, although not actually invented by Jack E. Bresenham.
The example program below show the midpoint circle algorithm within GCBASIC.
