dirplot

Makes polar directivity plots.

Description

A modification of The Mathworks POLAR function, DIRPLOT generates directivity plots in the style commonly used in acoustic and RF work.

Features include:
1. Plots -90 to +90 or -180 to +180 degrees based on range of input THETA, with 0 degrees at top center.

2. Produces semicircular plots when plot range is -90 to +90 degrees.

3. RHO is assumed to be in decibels and may include negative values.
 
4. Default automatic rho-axis scaling in "scope knob" factors.

5. Optional PARAMS argument allows manual setting of rho-axis scaling.

• MATLAB release: MATLAB 6.0 (R12)

Very very useful!

This has saved me hours of fiddling with the polar fuction - thank you!

[Lina Chang]

Thanks so much for developing this tool that can be used to plot antenna gain directivity

[Robert Adams]

Was thinking of doing this myself when I remembered Matlab Central. Thanks for the great function for polar plotting antenna data with negative db.

Works great. Easy to use and it solved my plotting problem immediately. Thanks!

[Pascal Aubry]

Just what I needed for my radiation patterns, thanks.

[Eric Thiel]

Great. Should be part of the baseline matlab plot functionality.

[David Choi]

Just what I needed...simple to use and works as described

[George Power]

Thanks! very useful for polar plots with a minimum 'rho' value.

[Lukasz Panek]

very useful, thanks!

[Jon-Fredrik Hopperstad]

Very useful and much better than the standard "polar" function.
Thanks!

In order to enhance the elegance of the diagram a lot, one should add the line property

'LineSmoothing','on'

to several functions in which the coordinate system is drawn. then the function becomes really nice!

[Marina]

Thanks!
