The object \Lkeyword{cercle} allows us to define and draw a \Index{circle}.
In the \texttt{pst-solides3d} package, a circle in 2D is defined
by its centre and radius.
We use the option \Lkeyword{args} to specify the centre and radius of
the chosen circle. We can use coordinates or named variables.
The argument \texttt{\Lkeyword{range}=$t_{\rm min}$ $t_{\rm max}$} allows %$
us to specify an arc of the chosen circle.
As for all the other object, we can save the circle data using the
option \Lkeyword{name}.
\begin{LTXexample}[width=7.5cm]
\begin{pspicture}(-3,-3)(4,3.5)%
\psframe*[linecolor=blue!50](-3,-3)(4,3.5)
\psset{viewpoint=50 30 15,Decran=60}
\psset{solidmemory}
%% definition du plan de projection
\psSolid[object=plan,

\psset{plan=monplan}

\subsection{Some other definitions}
There are additional methods to define a circle in 2D. The options
\Lkeyword{definition} and \Lkeyword{args} give the following supported
methods:
