The most direct way get an array of distances from some central point in IDL is:

;for a circle centered at (150,50)
xx = rebin(findgen(201,201) - 150,201,201)
yy = rebin(findgen(1,201) - 50,201,201)

radial_distance = sqrt(xx^2 - yy^2)

tvscl,radial_distance le 50 ; displays a white filled circular mask

The previous suggestion by Peter Suetterlin (pit@uni-sw.gwdg.de) of:
img = (shift(dist(X,Y),x0,y0)) LT R
doesn't seem to work if x0 and y0 are not equal to X/2 and Y/2 (i.e. the
circle is not centerted) because of wrapping problems when the array is shifted.
