A third way, the way the curve tool did it, was by using the geometric equation for a circle/elipse and determining a certain number of points with it.
Check it:

simplified for a circle with radius r with a center at the origin:
y=sqrt(r^2-x^2)
If you're interested in circles, you already know four points. If you just plug in another three or four x-coordinates in the same quadrant, you can reflect them over the axes without any trouble to create a pretty nice curve.
