Jmol 11.5.25 draws circles. See http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/docs/examples-11/new.htm
and http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/docs/examples-11/Jmol-11_5.zip I think this is a very nice addition. Max, I hope you were thinking of circles the way I was -- not 3D, but 2D -- and that this will be useful to you. 3D would be considerably harder.
