Hello, I have a simple question.
How can I obtain the graph of a circle by using the expression component?
I want to make a circle with midpoint (0,r) and radius r.
x^2+y^2=r^2 is an implicit equation. In order to generate a curve based on a single parameter, you need an explicit equation. For example \{r*Cos(t), r*Sin(t), 0.0\}, where t goes from 0.0 to 2\pi.

Thank you for your response David.
The explicit equation you give results in an invalid expression (1364). Maybe I’m not entering it correctly?
It works when I split the expression, but then I don’t know whether it’s even possible to convert this into a single coordinate?
When I write the formula for half a circle, the screenshot shows pretty much what I want to achieve.
However, I obtain these ‘NaN’ values (for negative roots I guess), so the curves aren’t connected anymore. Would you know how to keep them connected when lowering the radius of curvature?
If you want to make a circle from a list of points, there’s nothing wrong with the equation in the expression component except that you use parentheses instead of “Curly brackets”

Oops, my bad. I’ll fix the original answer.
Ok that works. Thank you.
