MATLAB: Polarscatter error – Adding polar plot to Cartesian axes is not supported.

plotpolarscatter

I have been unable to find any information on this error. I've no idea why it occurs. I am not at all adding a polar plot to a Cartesian plot.
If i run
polarscatter(pi,1)
in the command window, it works fine. But as soon as i run it in the work space, i get the error. What am i doing wrong? And why does this error occur exactly.

It seems you are trying to plot polarscatter on an existing figure (Cartesian axes) using hold on . If you want to plot it alone close the existing figure and plot or open a new figure and plot. If you want to plot it on existing figure...either use subplot or create a different axes for this.
