A '''circle diagram''' (or '''scale circle''') is a diagram that shows the [[pitch]]es of a [[periodic scale]] on a circle.

== Conventions ==
* Unless specified otherwise, a full turn is assumed to represent an [[octave]], such that 1{{cent}} corresponds to 0.3°.
* The [[tonic]] (and thus the [[period]]) of the scale is generally placed at the top.
* Rotating clockwise corresponds to going up in pitch, and vice versa.
