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?
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), ('E', 'NE', 'N','NW', 'W', 'SW', 'S', 'SE') ) )
label_values = [item % 360 for item in range(90, -260, -45)]
thetagrids( range(0,360,45), label_values)
and using some well defined (linear) transformation for plotting - translating
your data to the actual tick positions and corresponding labels.
best regards Matthias
