    <p>Using the ol' <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_theorem" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Pythagorean Thereom</a>, this simple bit of algebra follows... <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/eAioX.png" alt="y in terms of x and r"></p> <p><strong>r</strong> is the radius of the circle.<br> <strong>x</strong> is a variable you'll make iterate through the circle, in increments you can easily work out from knowing the radius and the spacing.</p> <p>Knowing the height of each line (and their x position), it won't be a challenge centering the verticle lines parallel to the cirlce center (if your placement coordinates specify the top left corner as they usually do, you'll want to place it at <code>y = circle_center - (line_length / 2)</code></p> <p>Note also, that if you do specify the coordinates of the vertical lines via the top left corner, you'll need to consider how thick they are when calculating the x coordinate.<br> This is extremely simple, using the x value suggested by the circle.<br> <code>true_x = suggested_x - (line_width / 2)</code></p> <p><strong>Refer to other more sensible answers for dealing with angled lines</strong> </p> <p><strong>This procedure remains as a demonstration of the sensibility of using a clip over finding the exact domain/range of each line</strong> (and because I wasted so much of my life on it).</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/kPV6Z.png" alt="enter image description here"> <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/L6iJ3.png" alt="enter image description here"> <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Py6Pq.png" alt="enter image description here"> <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/mgZEE.png" alt="enter image description here"> Here's where the fun ended for me. <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/mrsrO.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>Oomph! Replace that last m with 'tan(theta)'</p>
