polarLabels

Modified polar plot to allow for rotation/dilation of polar plot labels.

Description

Modified version of standard POLAR plot function to allow for rotation of plot labels (not the plot itself). Also allows for redefinition of the radius labels to allow for data containing negative values not having negative radii (as is often the case with dB in acoustics). Originally created for directivity plots but is uselful for other tasks. Should allow for half-circle plotting as well. Final addition allows for a transparent background in the polar plot for transparency overlays. Reverse compatible with POLAR syntax. Returns handles to text labels as well for latter modifications.

an example would help

[Brian Katz]

Ex:> polarlabels([0:360]*pi/180,abs(sin([0:360]*pi/180))*10,'b',-90,-10);
This has been added to the file

Works fine!
Excellent work. Exactly this function is missing in MatLab, when working with directivity patterns.

I just had to invert the signs of the angles, for "my" coordinate-system
