Do you have any link to an example plot?
I googled it but not much luck.
Is it like a polar plot without the bottom half?

The current implementation of PolarAxes does not support that.
However, you can workaround this easily using a custom axes.
In http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/polar_demo.html
Instead of
ax = fig.add_axes([0.1, 0.1, 0.8, 0.8], polar=True, axisbg='#d5de9c')
use following code
from matplotlib.projections.polar import PolarAxes
from matplotlib.transforms import Affine2D
class PolarAxes2(PolarAxes):
def PolarTransform(self):
return Affine2D().translate(-.5*np.pi,0) + PolarAxes.PolarTransform()
ax = PolarAxes2(fig, [0.1, 0.1, 0.8, 0.8], axisbg='#d5de9c')
ax = fig.add_axes(ax)
