It's true, but at the expense of pretty much time, since the arcs must be rendered properly. If your data is dense enough in r and phi, a handmade conversion would probably gain much speedup. Of course you loose then also the nice polar diagram axes ... I tried this once in polar with pixel-dense data (in a 400x400 px figure) and it takes really forever. I don't know if the output of the fast versions of pcolor is properly rendered in polar axes?
