#' CIRCLE_MN (Class level)
#'
#' @description Mean of related circumscribing circle (Shape metric)
#'
#' @param landscape A categorical raster object: SpatRaster; Raster* Layer, Stack, Brick; stars or a list of SpatRasters.
#' @param directions The number of directions in which patches should be
#' connected: 4 (rook's case) or 8 (queen's case).
#'
#' @details
#' \deqn{CIRCLE_{MN} = mean(CIRCLE[patch_{ij}])}
#' where \eqn{CIRCLE[patch_{ij}]} is the related circumscribing circle of each patch.
#'
#' CIRCLE_MN is a 'Shape metric' and summarises each class as the mean of the related
#' circumscribing circle of all patches belonging to class i. CIRCLE describes
#' the ratio between the patch area and the smallest circumscribing circle of the patch
#' and characterises the compactness of the patch.
#'
#' \subsection{Units}{None}
#' \subsection{Range}{CIRCLE_MN > 0}
#' \subsection{Behaviour}{Approaches CIRCLE_MN = 0 if the related circumscribing circle
#' of all patches is small. Increases, without limit, as the related circumscribing circles
#' increase.}
