Plotting circle in degree distance around point

Q&A
1

I would like to plot circles around a latitude, longitude in degree distance.
my input file has a Lon, lat and a bunch of z values in degree distance.

Shouldn’t something like this do the job?
gmt6 psxy xydist.txt -W2,red,- -SE- -JB137/4/5/10/7i -R150/180/3/14 -B10

Thanks very much!

The command should work, but please note that GMT expects the circle size (3rd column in your input data) is in km, not degree.
