Grid Labels on Polar Plots

Is it possible to control the text of the polar grid labels?

I would like to have 8 grid lines in theta, but label only 4 of them. I also want to set my own labels, such as "NE", "NW", "SW" and "SE".

I would like to turn off the labels along r completely or replace them with my own set of labels.

The comments in polar_demo.py indicate that the properties of the gridlines and labels can be accessed directly from the polar axes. How can I find out what keywords can be set for each of the attributes: thetagridlines, rgridlines, thatagridlabels and rgridlabels?
