you can make it like this using rotation


Code:

void setup() {
  size(600,600);
  smooth();
  background(255);

}

void draw() {
  background(255);
  translate(width/2,height/2);
  for(int i= 0; i<36;i++){
    rotate(TWO_PI/36);
    ellipse(100,0,4,4);

  }


}



 

Thanks Cedric.

I want to use this create sections of a circle.

Thanks again cedric.

There is my easysphere algorithm.
How do I draw lines between the nearest points seeing that I don't draw them in sequence. How do I calculate what is the nearest three ,two or one so I can draw a rect, triangle or a line ?
