+
+         The `update` method allows you to set the position and radius of a `Circle` object in
+         place. This method takes either a tuple of (x, y) coordinates, two separate x and
+         y coordinates, and a radius as its arguments, and it always returns `None`.
+
+         .. note::
+             This method is equivalent(behaviour wise) to the following code:
+             ::
+                 circle.x = x
+                 circle.y = y
+                 circle.r = radius
