MATLAB: How to rotate the axis for a polar plot

polarradiation

Hi,

Would anyone know how to adjust (rotate) the polar plot function such that the vertical axis starts at 0 degrees – as opposed to 90?

theta=0:0.1:2*pi;
e=cos(theta);
polar(theta,e);

Kind regards,

See the answer at http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/93690-how-do-i-rotate-or-flip-a-polar-plot which changes the viewpoint specification using view. For your case, you would want to call (after the polar plot has been created)

 view([90 -90])

You can plot it by tuning axes properties, like:

% Sample data
theta = deg2rad(-150:30:180);
rho = 10*rand(size(theta));
% Polar plot with [-180 180] degree
polarplot(theta,rho)
ax = gca;
ax.ThetaLim = [-180 180];
ax.ThetaZeroLocation = 'top';
ax.ThetaDir = 'clockwise';

%if true
  theta = 0:360
polar(sin(theta).^2*pi/180)% sin^2(theta)
