<p>Use a circle layout to position children along a circle or spiral.</p>

<table><tr><td>Plane <span class="ml-2 text-xs font-bold text-pink-300">(v4.0)</span></td>
<td>Determines on which plane to create the circle.</td></tr>
<tr><td class="whitespace-nowrap">Initial Radius <span class="ml-2 text-xs font-bold text-pink-300">(v4.0)</span></td>
<td>Determines the radius of the circle:
<ul class="list-disc mt-5 ml-5"><li><b>Fixed</b>: The initial radius is a fixed value.</li>
<li><b>HalfAxis1</b>: The initial radius is half the size of the layout on the first plane axis.</li>
<li><b>HalfAxis2</b>: The initial radius is half the size of the layout on the other plane axis.</li>
<li><b>HalfMinAxis</b>: The initial radius is half the size of the layout on the smaller plane axis</li>
<li><b>HalfMaxAxis</b>: The initial radius is half the size of the layout on the larger plane axis</li></ul>
<p>The Half* options help fit the circle into a parent layout when the size is set to "Fill" on the Flexalon Object.
For example, if the circle is on the "XZ" plane, then the first axis is X and the second axis is Z. If Initial Radius is set to HalfAxis1,
and the Width is set to Fill, then the circle's width (diameter) will match the layout width.</p></td></tr>
<tr><td>Radius</td>
<td>Radius of the circle, if initial radius is Fixed.</td></tr>
<tr><td>Spiral</td>
<td>If checked, positions each object at increasing heights to form a spiral.</td></tr>
<tr><td>Spiral Spacing</td>
<td>Vertical spacing between objects in the spiral.</td></tr>
<tr><td>Spacing Type</td>
<td>If set to Evenly, the space around the circle is distributed between children.
If set to Fixed, the Spacing Degrees property determines the space between children.</td></tr>
<tr><td>Radius Type</td>
<td><p>If set to Step, the radius is incremented for each child by the Radius Step property.
This can be used to create an inward or outward spiral.
</p>
<p>If set to Wrap, the radius is incremented each time around the circle.
This can be used to create concentric circles of objects.
</p></td></tr>
<tr><td>Start At Degrees</td>
<td>By default, the first child will be placed at (radius, 0, 0). Start At Degrees value will add an offset all children around the circle.</td></tr>
<tr><td>Rotate</td>
<td>Determines how children should be rotated - None, In to the circle, Out of the circle, Forward along the circle, or Backward along the circle.</td></tr>
<tr><td>Plane Align <span class="ml-2 text-xs font-bold text-pink-300">(v4.0)</span></td>
<td>Aligns the layout on the plane's normal axis.
For a circle, this will align each individual object in the layout.
For a spiral, this will align the entire spiral.
