The `round` macro creates a rounded corner. It is provided by the [round
plugin](/reference/plugins/round/).

## Signature

```js
macro('round', { 
  String class,
  Point from,
  Boolean hide,
  String prefix,
  Number radius,
  Point to,
  Point via,
})
```

## Example

<Example caption="An example of the round macro">
```js
({ Point, points, macro, part }) => {

  macro('round', {
    from: new Point(0, 0),
    to: new Point(100, 40),
    via: new Point(100, 0),
    radius: 30,
    hide: false,
  })

  return part
}
```
</Example>

| `to`        |         | [Point](/reference/api/point) | The endpoint away from the corner to round |
| `via`       |         | [Point](/reference/api/point) | The cornerpoint to round |
| `radius`    | Maximum | Number              | The radius in mm if not the maximum possible |
