It's been possible to make circles, semi circles and quarter circles using only CSS ever since the border radius property came along. But what if you wanted to make a circle with more than four segments?

I've seen it done but only occasionally and in a very fixed way. If there was a way of generating a single segment of a circle based on a mathematical formula, would it be possible to write a CSS mixin to generate a circle containing any number of required segments? Short answer: yes.

Just because I've not written enough jQuery plugins lately (hmmm), here's another one. It's based on a plugin that I wrote a few years ago but never properly finished or made public. Here it is - the much improved, no images involved, circular progress indicator.

Recently I needed an animating circular progress bar for a website I was building. After some reasonably in-depth research I couldn't find anything that entirely suited my needs, so I sat down and wrote my own jQuery plugin to do it. And here it is.
