Get and change radius size of Node - Sprite-Kit

Question

I am using Swift and SpriteKit and I create a new circle (as a Node) like this

 var circlePlayer = SKShapeNode(circleOfRadius: 10)

and I would like to access later on the radius of the circle in order to get its value or modify it (increase it by 1 for instance) - how can I achieve this?

subclass skshapenode, add radius property. or just add it to the node's userData dictionary. — CodeSmile, Jan 05 '15 at 02:00

Scale it. circlePlayer.setScale(2)

Okay thanks, what if I want to get the radius value? or want to increase the radius by 1? – sachalondon Jan 04 '15 at 22:19
Just scale it by new radius / old radius – Kendel Jan 04 '15 at 22:33
Yes but I need a way to get the value of the 'old radius', how can I do that? – sachalondon Jan 04 '15 at 22:41
keep track of it in property? – hamobi Jan 05 '15 at 17:49
Use the node's frame (node.frame) – Kendel Jan 07 '15 at 19:31
