Sets the radius of an SVG <circle> element. This property allows you to control the size of circles directly from your CSS, which is great for hover effects or animations.

circle.dot {
  fill: var(--accent);
  /* Sets the radius to 10 pixels */
  r: 10px;
  transition: r 0.3s ease;
}
circle.dot:hover{
  r: 15px;
}

/* Global values */
