Well then, I'll just have to PING you to death.
Nope, don't know how (don't think it can be done either).

Where does a circle have a vertex? O_O

It's true definable vertex is in it's center, but you mean the RWX
way... and that would be impossible as a circle has an infinite curve.
The best way to get a circle is a 360^3*length of radius. As you can
imagine, the large the circle gets the more it's going to lag (if you
don't multiply by the radius it's going to look blockier as you get larger).

Yeah, it's that good.

I'm not talking about an RWX circle, I meant a real circle.

A real (abstract) circle has an infinity of points/vertices.

Umm... yeah, but you can't bend the edges of a drawing of a square so it's a
circle. You could do it on a computer though, heh heh heh.

Well..
side length of the square = square root of (pi * (circle's radius ^ 2))
that's the quadrature of the circle :P

In theory all polygonal objects share similar qualities. A square is a
circle with 4 definitive points. Since a circle is the supreme, awesome
polygon of all, it holds the most power. ;)
But in the true strict definition of a square and circle, no, it's not.
But a square is a rectangle.
