Erode a region with a circular structuring element.
erosion_circle applies a Minkowski subtraction with a circular structuring element to the input regions Region. Because the circular mask is symmetrical, this is identical to an erosion. The size of the circle used as structuring element is determined by Radius.
The operator results in the region being reduced, the smoothing of the region's boundaries, and the elimination of regions smaller than the circular mask. It is useful to select only values like 3.5, 5.5, etc. for Radius in order to avoid a translation of a region, because integer radii result in the circle having a non-integer center of gravity which is rounded to the next integer.

Let F1 be the area of an input region. Then the runtime for one region is:
O(2 * Radius * sqrt(F1)) .
erosion_circle returns TRUE if all parameters are correct. The behavior in case of empty or no input region can be set via:
a) no region: set_system(::'no_object_result',<RegionResult>:) b) empty region: set_system(::'empty_region_result',<RegionResult>:)Otherwise, an exception is raised.
