Draw RadioButtons using scatter to ensure circular buttons.

anntzer · anntzer · commit eae36f587e99 · 2022-11-15T09:11:44.000+01:00
To ensure backcompat without bothering the majority of users who don't
actually access the .circles attribute, dynamically (and irreversibly)
switch back to the old draw method (list of Circles) whenever that
attribute is accessed for the first time (if ever).
