Hi, thanks for your answer.
To be precise my goal is to obtain a graphic like the one in attached file (test.pdf) which results from gnuplot with the tikz terminal and the complete data (in attached file too). I dislike this solution because I have to place direction labels by hand and they're useful for one graphic size. That's why I want to find a solution with pgfplots. Do you think it's possible ? Best regards, Béatrice. Hi, thanks for your request! I am not completely sure what you expect... I understand that you want polar axes, and from your gnuplot example I see that the origin should have y=-30 and the outermost line 0. If I take you data and provide it to gnuplot as such, it also seems to provide a similar output as pgfplots - but gnuplot seems to have it rotated somehow. Nevertheless, the label transformations seem to be possible by means of custom transformations, perhaps \documentclass{article} \usepackage{pgfplots} \usepgfplotslibrary{polar} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \begin{polaraxis}[ x coord trafo/.code=\pgfmathparse{-#1}, y coord trafo/.code=\pgfmathparse{-#1}, y coord inv trafo/.code=\pgfmathparse{-30+#1}, ] \addplot table{ 0 00 -1 00 -2 -01 -3 -02 -4 -04 -5 -07 -337 -22 -338 -24 -339 -30 -340 -30 -357 -02 -358 -01 -359 00 }; \end{polaraxis} \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} I have attached the output of this run as png. Perhaps you can this as starting point to derive a suitable transformation. The inverse transformation is *only* used to generate tick numbers, so it might not be that important (because you could specify tick labels and positions explicitly).
