Yes you're right. To complete the outline you have to connect each point to the previous point. Something like this:
$prevdist = 0;
foreach $ydist ( 0..$radius ) {
# using the formula:
# xdist*xdist + ydist*ydist = radius*radius
$newxdist = int(sqrt( $radius*$radius - $ydist*$ydist));
# Take advantage of symmetry to plot 4 lines at once
# (for circle outline, draw a line from the previous
# point to the new one)
foreach $xdist ($prevdist..$newxdist) {
$circle{$x_center-$xdist}{$y_center-$ydist}++;
$circle{$x_center+$xdist}{$y_center-$ydist}++;
$circle{$x_center-$xdist}{$y_center+$ydist}++;
$circle{$x_center+$xdist}{$y_center+$ydist}++;
}
$prevdist = $newxdist;
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
