Daniel,

There are a number of ways.

1) Use ImplicitPlot

Needs["Graphics`ImplicitPlot`"]
ImplicitPlot[x^2 + (y - 1)^2 == 1, {x, -1, 1}];

2) Parametrize the circle and use ParametricPlot

circlecurve[center : {_, _}][t_] := {Cos[t], Sin[t]} + center

ParametricPlot[Evaluate[circlecurve[{0, 1}][t]], {t, 0, 2Pi},
    AspectRatio -> Automatic];

3) Use the Circle graphics primitive

Show[Graphics[{Circle[{0, 1}, 1]}],
    Axes -> True,
    AspectRatio -> Automatic];

Hi,

I want to plot the function x^2 + (y-1)^2 == 1

How do I do this.

Thanks in advance.

Dan
