The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 5.0, 5.0a, 6.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

When you use values less than -1.0 for nAspect ratio, the aspect ratio and
radius values are determined as follows:

  nAspect = ABS(nAspect)

  nRadius = nRadius * nASpect

This behavior is by design.

The Visual FoxPro help file does not describe this behavior for values of nAspect
less than -1.0.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

Run the following code:

     PUBLIC ox
     ox = CreateObject('form')
     ox.Show()
     ox.Circle(50, 100, 100, -2)
