I have used the same sort of plots for the polar regions, where you
sometimes want to concentrate on one single annulus. One thing you can
do is to have a mask, with the same size as your matrix. You calcualte
r_ij = sqrt(xi*xi + yj*yj), set a threshold U and let the mask be
equal to 1 if r<=U, or else 0. When you apply the mask, the area
outside your radius of interest will be masked out.

I know, I know... long winded :)

Cheers,
Jose
