circle(x,y,r,border="black",lty="solid",lwd=1,fill=NULL)

Arguments

x,y,r	Vectors of the x- and y- coordinates of the midpoints and the associated radii. Vectors x, y and r should be of the same length
border, lty, lwd	the draving color, line type and line width of the perimeter line. Use border=NA to omit the perimeter.
fill	The color used to fill the circles. fill=NULL does not fill at all.

       y=runif(n,0,10),
       r=rweibull(n,6,2))
