# Polar Demo

Demo of a line plot on a polar axis.

    import numpy as np
    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

    r = np.arange(0, 2, 0.01)
    theta = 2 * np.pi * r

    ax = plt.subplot(111, projection='polar')
    ax.plot(theta, r)
    ax.set_rmax(2)
    ax.set_rticks([0.5, 1, 1.5, 2])  # less radial ticks
    ax.set_rlabel_position(-22.5)  # get radial labels away from plotted line
    ax.grid(True)

    ax.set_title("A line plot on a polar axis", va='bottom')
    plt.show()
