draw a circle with center position <point> and given radius using the amount of segments.

Use linestrip instead of line to draw continues lines. The drawing performance will be much better than using single lines as in the old sectorfile format. (much less data to process)
This means that if you export an old sectorfile to the new map format, you need to remove the duplicate entries to improve performance.

example

<circle radius="10" segments="45" r="255" g="0" b="0">
    <point lat="N0511211970" lon="E0025349610"/>
</circle>
