[OpenLayers-Users] Create a Circle from a Point

[Pierre GIRAUD]

Hi Lyciano,

I think you're lucky.
Recently I had to something similar myself.

Attached you'll find an example page with a specific control I developed.
This control lets you draw a circle (in fact a regularPolygon) given
its center and its radius.

This is not complete for your use case because the radius is given in
the geographical units. You'll want to convert it from km to DD before
you call updateCircle.

Hope this helps,
Pierre

ps: I'm about to write a "tutorial" page on the OpenLayers wiki to
help people write such a control. Don't hesitate to tell me if my code
is clear enough.
