how do you call this method ?

@hlobaz I'm sorry, I didn't see your comment. I didn't get any notification!

Anyway, if it's still useful to you and you haven't figured out, you can call the class constructor RadialSprite() and pass a TextureRegion object to it.

@chandujr I couldn't figure out how to start progress from top middle point. what do i need to change to make it start from there. Thanks!
