How do I let a point describe a circlepath

Hello,

first of all I have to say that I’m a bloody beginner ???

Now my problem:

I try to let a point move arround in a cirlce in a 2D-environment using an animator.
Is there any method implemented where I can give the starting point and the radius or do I have to calculate the x- and y-positions of the circle manually?

I’m looking forward to your replies and thank you very much

x = xCenter - radiussin(angle);
y = yCenter + radiuscos(angle);

Yes you have to calculate the positions yourself.
