Description:
Set up the screen. Turn the cursor off. Use degrees.
Starting at the right and going around the circle in 16 steps,
calculate polar coordinates from radii in data, draw to correct point
every 4 points, start over with the data (fourfold symmetry)
Comments:
Third time is a charm!
Nearly twice as short as a simple list of x/y coordinates passed to drawto
