It sounds to me that you want to have a contour plot which takes as input
the r,theta, and T. I would suggest just

Hello,
Thanks for your suggestion, but I still have a problem.
Maybe I did not make myself clear (or most likely I have a problem
about how to implement your suggestion): actually I have T=T(r,theta)
and I would like to make a 2D plot using colors such that one can see
that the domain where I am plotting is actually a circle.
The example I mentioned is not exactly what I need since there one can
find how to plot in polar coordinates a function of r alone.
Furthermore, I do not have necessarily an equally spaced grid.
For instance, let me consider the case of 5 theta's and 7 radial
position and consequentely 35 values of T:
theta R
T

How would you plot them in order to have a 2D-color plot where one can
understand we are working on a circle (well, maybe it will look like
something different since I have only a few grid points, but the aim
is clear, I hope)?
Kind Regards
