MATLAB: Wind rose – how to remove axis

axisremovewind rose

I would like to remove axis (circle axis) from a wind rose graph. I have used some of the following options, but they did not worked for wind rose. Is there some other way to remove axis?

set(gca,'XTickLabel',[],'XTick',[]);
set(gca,'YTickLabel',[],'YTick',[]);

Don't know if there's an updated, more elegant way to do this, but the solution here does it in a roundabout way, which works.

 % create the polar plot, and store the line's handle
 p = polar((0:99)*pi/100, (0:99)/100);
 % find all of the lines in the polar plot
 h = findall(gcf,'type','line');
 % remove the handle for the polar plot line from the array
 h(h == p) = [];
 % delete all other lines
 delete(h);
 % find all of the text objects in the polar plot
 t = findall(gcf,'type','text');
 % delete the text objects
 delete(t);

MATLAB: How to remove the grid lines and labels from a polar plot within MATLAB

There are no actual polar axes in MATLAB 6.5.1 (R13SP1) and earlier versions. The polar plot is created with a patch object representing the background, and multiple line and text objects used to create the grid lines and labels, respectively. These objects exist in an axes, whose "Visible" property has been set to "off".

You can remove the labels and grid lines from a polar plot by locating their handles with the FINDALL function, and using the DELETE function to remove them.

% create the polar plot, and store the line's handle
p = polar((0:99)*pi/100, (0:99)/100);
% find all of the lines in the polar plot
h = findall(gcf,'type','line');
% remove the handle for the polar plot line from the array
h(h == p) = [];
% delete all other lines
delete(h);
% find all of the text objects in the polar plot
t = findall(gcf,'type','text');
% delete the text objects
delete(t);

It's a shame that it's not easier to do this, but here is a Solution that explains how to do it:

How can I remove the grid lines and labels from a polar plot within MATLAB?

Here's the code provided in that Solution.

% create the polar plot, and store the line's handle
p = polar((0:99)*pi/100, (0:99)/100);
% find all of the lines in the polar plot
h = findall(gcf,'type','line');
% remove the handle for the polar plot line from the array
h(h == p) = [];
% delete all other lines
delete(h);
% If you want, use the following lines to remove the text.
% (I prefer to leave it in place)
% find and remove all of the text objects in the polar plot
% delete(findall(gcf,'type','text'))
