C# How to draw circles from center of screen outwards dynamiclly

So the idea is this: I have an input , as the user types a value I want to draw circles on the screen (see picture).

I want the circles to start from mid screen and if the user types another value to re draw the circles accordingly.

I know how to draw but I am not quite certain how the math for what I want to achieve is done.

P.S. I wrote code to auto size the circles if the user enters more than the number that fit the screen, but if he enters less than that I want the circles to be drawn from mid outwards.

C# , WinForms

It's pretty simple maths in the end. Assume

diameter is 100 pixels

Buffer between circles is half-radius (50 pixels)

Width of screen is 800 pixels

Height of screen is 600 pixels

--Initial position:

first position: (width / 2, height / 2 - (circles-1) * (diameter + buffer) / 2))

--All subsequent positions:

next position: (previousposition.x, previousposition.y + diameter+ buffer)

if you enter 1 circles it would be:

circle 1: (400, 300 - (0 * (radius+buffer)/2 = (400, 300)

If you enter 2 circles it would be:

circle 1: (400, 300 - (1 * (radius+buffer)/2 = (400, 225), circle 2: (400, 225 + 150) = (400, 375)

If you enter 3 circles it would be:

circle 1: (400, 300 - 2*radius+buffer)/2 = (400, 150), circle 2: (400, 150 + 150) = (400, 300), circle 3: (400, 300 + 150) = (400, 450)

... and so on.

If I understood correctly you are looking for something like this:

var Start = Height / 2 - NumberOfCircles * CircleSize;

for (int i = 0; i < NumberOfCircles; i++)
{
    Draw(Start + (i * CircleSize));
}

PS: Use the variable CircleSize for the actual size of the circle plus some space, and in the function Draw you can manage where the circle is going to be drawn
