Create your widget so that the circle is within the xwyh
rectangular boundary.
Then make your own function called e.g. event_inside_circle(x,y)
which, given an x,y value, returns true if the x,y value is inside
the circle, and false if not.
Use this in your widget's handle() method to accept/reject events
like FL_PUSH/FL_RELEASE, and detect mouse movement over the circular
region for events like FL_MOVE (e.g. if you want it to 'light up'
when the mouse is over it)
Use Fl::event_x(),Fl::event_y() to get the x,y position of the event.
If you need FL_MOVE events, be sure to return 1 in response to FL_ENTER
or you won't get them.
Be sure to still process other events like FL_ENTER normally,
as fltk will be expecting responses to these, and will only issue
them at your rectangular border. It becomes up to your widget to
handle non-rectangular boundaries within that region for subsequent
event handling like FL_MOVE, FL_PUSH, FL_RELEASE..
