Circle is one the basic geometric shape and can easily be created in Tikz \(\LaTeX\) and can enhanced visually by changing the oultine color, fill color, outlines to dashed, dotted, thick and ultra thick, adjusting opacity to outlines and fill colors, and applying gradient colors.

Command to draw circle in Tikz \(\LaTeX\)

\draw [parameter1, parameter2, parameter3,...] (a,b) circle (K_unit) where:
  • \draw --- used to draw the shape;
  • [parameter1, parameter2, parameter3,...] --- parameters are the options separated by commas used to enhance the graphics of the shape
  • (a,b) --- coordinates of the center of the circle;
  • circle --- name of the shape;
  • K_unit ---- K is some positive integer and unit is the measurement unit like, 5mm, 1in, 4cm etc.
