Hi, I would like to draw and analyze a profile on a map using PyGMT. Is there a way to plot a profile line directly on the map, similar to how it’s done in GMT using this command?

```auto
echo 35 35 | gmt plot -SJ20/10/250 -W0.8p

```

In this command, the center point is at latitude 35, longitude 35, the azimuth is 20°, the profile width is 10 km, and the total length is 250 km. How can I replicate this in PyGMT?
