To calculate the positions of points in a circle, you need to
use sinus and cosinus. Here is an example that should solve
your problem :

dim as double x,y

_numPoints = 36
_centerX = 100
_centerY = 100
_radius  = 50
_angle   = (360/_numPoints)

dim count
for count = 1 to _numPoints
y = sin(_angle*count * pi# / 180)
y = y*_radius : y += _centerY
x = cos(_angle*count * pi# / 180)
x = x*_radius : x += _centerX
plot x,y
next

I hope this will help.
