Description

Ggplotly does not display geom_circle. For example, I created this plot in ggplot2:

Circles on the plot are correctly displayed, however when I switched to ggplotly(), I got the message:

"In geom2trace.default(dots[[1L]][[2L]], dots[[2L]][[1L]], dots[[3L]][[1L]]) : geom_GeomCircle() has yet to be implemented in plotly."

In ggplotly the plot looks like the following:

Research direction

Start by locating the geom2trace.default entry point and the handling that emits the geom_GeomCircle() warning. Reproduce the ggplot2-to-ggplotly example from the issue, then implement circle conversion so the resulting interactive plot displays the circles. Done means the warning is absent and circles render in ggplotly.
