Re: how to draw a circle wrapping a few points

There's no automatic function to draw a circle on a plot. The best way to do this currently is to use gsn_polyline or gsn_add_polyline. See the attached sample script.

You didn't say how you wanted to determine where to draw the circle and how big. I just used some dummy values in this example.

Note the circle is not perfectly round here. That's because the plot area that I'm drawing in has a range of 24 on the Y axis, and 21 on the X axis.

If you uncomment these lines, the circle will be perfectly round:

; res@trXMinF = xmin
; res@trXMaxF = xmax
; res@trYMinF = ymin
; res@trYMaxF = ymax
