function circle = makeCartCircle(radius, num_points, center_pos, arc_angle, plot_circle)
%MAKECARTCIRCLE     Create a 2D Cartesian circle or arc.
%
% DESCRIPTION:
%       MakeCartCircle creates a 2 x num_points array of the Cartesian
%       coordinates of points evenly distributed over a circle or arc (if
%       arc_angle is given).
%
% USAGE:
%       circle = makeCartCircle(radius, num_points)
%       circle = makeCartCircle(radius, num_points, center_pos)
%       circle = makeCartCircle(radius, num_points, center_pos, arc_angle)
%       circle = makeCartCircle(radius, num_points, center_pos, arc_angle, plot_circle)
%
% INPUTS:
%       radius          - circle radius [m]
%       num_points      - number of points in the circle
%
% OPTIONAL INPUTS:
%       center_pos      - [x, y] position of the circle center [m] 
%                         (default = [0, 0])
%       arc_angle       - arc angle for incomplete circle [radians]
%                         (default = 2*pi)
%       plot_circle     - Boolean controlling whether the Cartesian points
%                         are plotted (default = false)
%
% OUTPUTS:
%       circle          - 2 x num_points array of Cartesian coordinates
