   * \brief Gravity on a circle of latitude
   *
   * Evaluate the earth's gravity field on a circle of constant height and
   * latitude.  This uses a CircularEngine to pre-evaluate the inner sum of the
   * spherical harmonic sum, allowing the values of the field at several
   * different longitudes to be evaluated rapidly.
   *
   * Use GravityModel::Circle to create a GravityCircle object.  (The
   * constructor for this class is private.)
   *
   * See \ref gravityparallel for an example of using GravityCircle (together
   * with OpenMP) to speed up the computation of geoid heights.
   *
   * Example of use:
   * \include example-GravityCircle.cpp
   *
   * <a href="Gravity.1.html">Gravity</a> is a command-line utility providing
   * access to the functionality of GravityModel and GravityCircle.
