how to draw a tilted circle?

Hai,
The following code draws a circle in the x-z plane in 3D.
radius=1;
center=[2 4 2];
theta=linspace(0,2*pi);
rho=ones(1,100).*radius;
[x,z]=pol2cart(theta,rho);
x=x+center(1);
z=z+center(3);
y=center(2)*ones(1,length(x));
figure;
h=plot3(x,y,z);
grid on;
axis square;
By default the above circle is vertical in the x-z plane. I need to draw a circle which is inclined or tilted at some angle. How could I do this?
Looking forward for your reply.
BSD

You have X-, Y- and Z-coordinates. Now you want to tilt the obejct. This can be done by applying a rotation matrix, e.g. for a rotation around the Z-axis by the angle a :
R = [ cos(a), sin(a), 0; ...
-sin(a), cos(a), 0; ...
0, 0, 1];
This matrix must be multiplied to the array of coordinates. See also: Wiki: Rotation Matrix

Generate the circle around (0,0,0), rotate it, and then translate the circle by the coordinates of the new center that you want.
Or if you already have a circle existing and decide later that you want to tilt it, then translate it to (0,0,0), rotate it, and then translate it back.

The answer hasn't changed since your previous time asking.
If you wish to do it mathematically instead of the way I suggested before, then say as much (at which point I would say, "So, did you read the documentation to find out what that routine actually does ?")

@Walter: Your answer has been complete. I add more details only, because it seems that the OP cannot follow completely.
