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, it goes back around and draws a circle instead
of just connecting the two points using a straight line.

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

What version of mpl are you using? This sounds like behavior that is not current.

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.
