_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     The function 'circular' is used to create circular objects.
     'as.circular' and 'is.circular' coerce an object to a circular and
     test whether an object is a circular data.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     circular(x, type = c("angles", "directions"), units = c("radians", "degrees"), template = c("none", "geographics"), modulo = c("asis", "2pi", "pi"), zero = 0, rotation = c("counter", "clock"), names)
     as.circular(x, ...)
     is.circular(x)
     ## S3 method for class 'circular':
     print(x, info=TRUE, ...)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

       x: a vector or a matrix.

    type: the type of measures (Not Used Yet).

   units: units of the measures.

template: how the data should be plotted (Until now only 'geographics'
          style is available).

  modulo: if we need to reduce the measures to modulo.

    zero: the zero of the axes (in radians).

rotation: the orientation of the axes.

   names: names of the data.

    info: if 'TRUE' information on the properties of the data are
          printed.

     ...: parameters passed to 'circular' for 'as.circular' and to
          'print.default' for 'print.circular'.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     an object of class 'circular'

_E_x_a_m_p_l_e_s:

     x <- circular(c(pi, pi/3, pi/4))
     print(x)
     is.circular(x)
