drawing a line segment wjhen using polar coordinates

The following produces an arc instead of a line. What am I
doing wrong?

ax = axes(polar=True,rmax=1.0)

polar([1,2],[0.2,0.3]) #or plot([1,2],[0.2,0.3])

You can pass "resolution=1" to the axes function. Unfortunately, when doing that you will lose the grid lines. This is a known bug.

Better yet, update to SVN trunk which does this by default and has working grid lines.

Thanks. The svn trunk worked for me.
