Comment(by jason):

 Please note that matplotlib already addresses these issues.  See, for
 example, this discussion:

 http://www.mail-archive.com/matplotlib-
 [email protected]/msg04785.html

 We just have to change our polar plots to use the matplotlib polar
 plotting mechanism.  That's something I've been meaning to do anyway,
 especially now that we use the matplotlib axes instead of our own.  I
 probably won't get to it in the near future, though.  Someone else is more
 than welcome to do it.

 Basically, right now, our "polar plots" are just normal plots with the
 coordinates undergoing the polar transformation on each point.  I think it
 might be good to change this so that our polar plots actually use the
 polar projection to give matplotlib polar plots.  See


 Examples of matplotlib polar plots:

 http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/polar_bar.html
 http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/polar_demo.html
 http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/polar_scatter.html

 or more exciting stuff that is currently in matplotlib and being refined:

 http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/axes_grid/demo_floating_axis.html

 Thanks,

 Jason
