circlecoords.m

% circlecoords - returns the pixel coordinates of a circle defined by the
%                radius and x, y coordinates of its centre.
%
% Usage: 
% [x,y] = circlecoords(c, r, imgsize,nsides)
%
% Arguments:
%	c           - an array containing the centre coordinates of the circle
%	              [x,y]
%   r           - the radius of the circle
%   imgsize     - size of the image array to plot coordinates onto
%   nsides      - the circle is actually approximated by a polygon, this
%                 argument gives the number of sides used in this approximation. Default
%                 is 600.
%
% Output:
%	x		    - an array containing x coordinates of circle boundary
%	              points
%   y		    - an array containing y coordinates of circle boundary
%                 points
