To emulate the current behavior (which doesn't try to interpolate between points) you can pass "resolution=1" to the polar command. But I agree with Eric -- it sounds like updating my resolve this issue. Mike Eric Firing wrote: > Ng, Enrico wrote: > >> The rotation and resetting of the labe

The rotation and resetting of the labels isn't a big issue. The issues is when I reverse the direction. Matplotlib seems to only want to plot in an anti-clockwise direction. I can transform the data to be backwards so that it looks ok, however when it tries to connect the start and end points, i

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), (

I've been trying to figure out how to do this for a while. I need to make polar plots which go around clockwise and have 0deg on top (north) instead of on the side (east). How can this be done? -- Stay on top of everythi
