I am plotting random circles using the plot function on a white background, how to convert this plot to a binary matrix?

So I am trying to simulate some random circles on an image.
I am creating a white background of the appropriate resolution by:
%Create blank white image
xres = 2304;
yres = 3456;
img = ones(xres,yres);
%plot
figure, imshow(img);
hold on
Then generating a bunch of random circles using a custom function by:
%% Generate random bubble, based on above distribution
randomDiam = lognrnd(mu,sigma,nBubbles);
randomX = yres*rand(nBubbles,1);
randomY = xres*rand(nBubbles,1);
for ii = 1:nBubbles
generateCircle(randomX(ii),randomY(ii),randomDiam(ii));
end
My generateCircle function simply uses plot to plot the cricles:
function generateCircle(x,y,d)
%Resolution of circle set by 0.01 right now
theta = 0:0.01:2*pi;
%convert to circle plot
xp = (d/2)*cos(theta);
yp = (d/2)*sin(theta);
%plot
plot(x+xp,y+yp,'k');
end
This works great and creates the following:
However, I need to do further analysis on this. How do I convert this to an actual logical matrix?
The way I'm doing it now, the circles don't actually register in my img matrix.
Any ideas??

You can try my shape recognition code where I put up random shapes. Adapt the attached code as needed.

If you want solid circles, you can use poly2mask() to burn each circle into a binary image. Then OR that binary image from that one circle into your "master" image that contains ALL the circles.
