Equation for testing if a point is inside a circle

by

In general, x and y must satisfy (x - center_x)² + (y - center_y)² < radius².

Please note that points that satisfy the above equation with < replaced by == are considered the points on the circle, and the points that satisfy the above equation with < replaced by > are considered the outside the circle.
