things with lines and labels. I decided that I needed a circle,
and following Gavin LaRose's problem 3 I decided that maybe I could just plot the upper and lower semi-circles
using plot_function to get my circle. I could not find any
documentation other than the problem, so I used the monkey see - monkey do version and something went wrong. I would appreciate help in finding the error here which might cause me to actually understand what I am
doing.
