You want a circular tree? Then ensure you use the "Radial" type tree (I think it's the middle button under the "Layout" tab on the left hand side. The software is pretty straightforward though. The manual will be online at the figtree website, and/or in the archive you download when obtaining the software I should think.

Thanks for your reply. I just want to draw the circle outside of the tree.

To my knowledge, figtree doesn't have that ability/feature. You may want to consider other tools such as Dendroscope or Anvio

Thanks, Kevin. But it's diffcult to manipulate the tree for me.

It was built using the dendextend package in R. There are many more things that you can do with this package including (I believe) everything that you need to do. Take a look at the tutorial Introduction to dendextend

It utilises also the Circos functions:
