Presumably (???????), you mean:

put a picture behind a circle in such a way that bits of the
picture that are outside the bounds of the circle are not visible?

Right; a fair few pseudo-Socratic questions coming up:

1. Why don't you just do this sort of thing in GIMP, Photoshop or some 
other graphic program?

2. Why do you want to do this at all?

OK, OK, not a "fair few", only 2: but, Hey, what do you expect on a 
Saturday night when I'm aching all over, running
a "speculative" temperature (i.e. 38 degs C; could go either way), and 
feeling well run down?

I'm going to crack out everybody's IDE and "piss about" and get back 
shortly.
