## circle

Takes a [Point][1] and calculates the circle polygon given a radius in degrees, radians, miles, or kilometers; and steps for precision.

**Parameters**

-   `center` **([Feature][2]&lt;[Point][3]> | [Array][4]&lt;[number][5]>)** center point
-   `radius` **[number][5]** radius of the circle
-   `options` **[Object][6]** Optional parameters (optional, default `{}`)
    -   `options.steps` **[number][5]** number of steps (optional, default `64`)
    -   `options.units` **[string][7]** miles, kilometers, degrees, or radians (optional, default `'kilometers'`)
    -   `options.properties` **[Object][6]** properties (optional, default `{}`)

**Examples**

```javascript
var center = [-75.343, 39.984];
var radius = 5;
var options = {steps: 10, units: 'kilometers', properties: {foo: 'bar'}};
var circle = turf.circle(center, radius, options);

//addToMap
var addToMap = [turf.point(center), circle]
```

Returns **[Feature][2]&lt;[Polygon][8]>** circle polygon
