Dear Seb

The option 'ax' is used to place the wind rose over an existing axes. But a new axes is created and placed over the other.

What you should do is to use the option 'parent' which let you choose the wind rose axes.

do this:
wind_rose(d, v, 'parent',ax)

In your first example,
ax = axes('Parent', fig)
wind_rose(d, v, 'ax', [ax .5 .5 1])

a new axes was created ... if there was something ploted in ax you wouldn't see it since wou chose to use the full ax width (1).

However I noticed that there is a missing line of code for the option 'parent' to work properly:
add axes(parent) after the line 252 (of the latest version). I will update this soon...

excellent submission
I wonder why matlab doesn't have built-in dictionaries

Thanks for a functional, easy to use program, M Ma.

I have one question:

I am plotting a "damage rose" (damage calculated using the Palmgren-Miner damage summation rule), in which i want to plot the damage caused by waves with different wave height from 4 different incident directions on a structure. I want to plot the rose with wave heights on the legend but damage (a number between 0 and 1 for each wave) on the rose. So all in all i have three vectors: One for incident directions, one for wave heights for each direction and a final containing the damage caused by each wave height. All vectors have the same length of course. Is there a way to solve my problem using your algorithm, or does it require modifications from my side?

- Best regards

There are handles available that include the labels of the legend too.

The problem is that the handles change by plot. So if in one plot the legend title handle is h(20) in another one is h(22) so you have to change them in each plot which is cumbersome.

This is what I am trying to figure out actually.
