Sounds like a good subject of research...why don't you get back to us on that.

chris, pi is a constant value, 3.1416... The variable is a value for the radius of a circle. pi is not a thing, it's a relationship or ratio between the area of a square and the area of a circle when the length and width of a square is also the diameter of a circle inside that square. So you really can't overlay pi. Does this help?

This is to rondosxx:
You obviously have no idea what Pi is. Pi is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter:
C/d = 2*pi*r / 2*r = pi
Also, there's no possible way to put any square inside of a circle so that the lenght and/or width equal the diameter of the circle. You can only do that with a rectangle, and even then, just ONE of the two (length or width) can be equal to the diameter of the circle.
If you wanted to make a perfect square (length = width) inside a circle, neither of the sides can be equal to the diameter; they would just be normal chords.

What do you mean by overlayed?
