Actually, embedding was one of the first things I tried and, to my surprise,
it didn't work for me.  But trying it again, I think I know why.  I had
manually moved the circle's rotation center away from it - to the center of
the square (in another futile attempt to do what I wanted), and this, I
believe, confuses the 'embed'.  Anyway, it works now - thanks!
