matplotlib.pyplot.polar#
- matplotlib.pyplot.polar(*args, **kwargs)[source]#
Make a polar plot.
call signature:
polar(theta, r, [fmt], **kwargs)
This is a convenience wrapper around
pyplot.plot
. It ensures that the current Axes is polar (or creates one if needed) and then passes all parameters to.pyplot.plot
.Note
When making polar plots using the pyplot API,
polar()
should typically be the first command because that makes sure a polar Axes is created. Using other commands such asplt.title()
before this can lead to the implicit creation of a rectangular Axes, in which case a subsequentpolar()
call will fail.
