## What it is
A fast, lightweight circular ImageView widget for Android, ideal for profile pictures. It uses a BitmapShader for efficient rendering without bitmap copies or clip paths, and supports optional borders.

## Use cases
- display circular profile pictures in an Android app
- show avatars with a colored border
- crop images into a circle without clipping artifacts
- use with image loading libraries like Glide or Picasso
- add a round user photo widget to a layout XML

## When to choose
- you need a performant circular image view for profile or avatar images
- you want a simple drop-in Android widget with border support
- you need a mature, widely used library with a permissive license

## When to avoid
- you need custom scale types other than CENTER_CROP
- you need adjustViewBounds or TransitionDrawable support
- you want to display VectorDrawables efficiently
- you need circular ripple/selector effects out of the box
