Hi Enrico,
I'm afraid that this functionality is missing in matplotlib, but I'm not an
expert so there is still hope that this can be easily achieved.
A work around, that comes to my mind is resetting the label values using an
idea from another mail on this list
( thetagrids( range(0,360,45), ('E', 'NE', 'N','NW', 'W', 'SW', 'S', 'SE') ) )
label_values = [item % 360 for item in range(90, -260, -45)]
thetagrids( range(0,360,45), label_values)
and using some well defined (linear) transformation for plotting - translating
your data to the actual tick positions and corresponding labels.
best regards Matthias
