It is a lot of work to build a simple interface to Jave so other people
can integrate their own algorithms. I have thought about that idea
before but I will not provide such kind of 'plugin' interface in the
near future.
But for a circle drawing algorithm you do not need to have an interface
to Jave. You can write a simple programm without graphical user
interface: You get the dimension of the circle as parameter (for example
19,10) and you print out the result to the standard output, for example:
       _____       
    .-'     `-.    
  .'           `.  
 /               \ 
;                 ;
|                 |
;                 ;
 \               / 
  `.           .'  
    `-._____.-'    
That is no big deal. And if the algorithm seems to work it is no problem
for me to integrate it into Jave.

Anyway, I will try using the line algorithm to improve big circles...
But there are more improtant things to be done before.
