you can evaluate as fast a x km radius

Especially Geophysicists need to easy determinations by considering to some chapters.For example,production to conclusion with centre coordinate  and  circle radius value as pre-defined under dynamic projection conditions that among such chapters.Thus,compiled a example;

Also,I checked to compilation conclusion at classic python console with png file based on raw data;

# example: draw circle with 45 degree radius around the North pole
lat = 51.4198101
lon = -0.950854653584
r = 45

# Define the projection used to display the circle:
proj = ccrs.Orthographic(central_longitude=lon, central_latitude=lat)


def compute_radius(ortho, radius_degrees):
    phi1 = lat + radius_degrees if lat <= 0 else lat - radius_degrees
    _, y1 = ortho.transform_point(lon, phi1, ccrs.PlateCarree())
    return abs(y1)

# Compute the required radius in projection native coordinates:
r_ortho = compute_radius(proj, r)

# We can now compute the correct plot extents to have padding in degrees:
pad_radius = compute_radius(proj, r + 5)

# define image properties
width = 800
height = 800
dpi = 96
resolution = '50m'

# create figure
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(width / dpi, height / dpi), dpi=dpi)
ax = fig.add_subplot(1, 1, 1, projection=proj)
# Deliberately avoiding set_extent because it has some odd behaviour that causes
# errors for this case. However, since we already know our extents in native
# coordinates we can just use the lower-level set_xlim/set_ylim safely.
ax.set_xlim([-pad_radius, pad_radius])
ax.set_ylim([-pad_radius, pad_radius])
