Marker size in pixels

Salutations, community.

I'd like to plot a circular marker with, say, a 10 pixel radius. Is it
possible to do this in matplotlib?

Apologies; I didn't include enough information. I see that matplotlib
allows you to set the marker size in points. My quest is to convert pixels
to points.

Good question! I'm only saving my graphs to file (via an animation), and
not displaying them to the screen. I have the dpi I'm using in a variable.

How will you know in advance what conversion factor to use, that is, how
will you know what your users are equipped with? Display devices with 72
pixels/in, 225 pixels/in, and 300 pixels/in would have very different
conversion factors.
