dirplot

Makes polar directivity plots.

You are now following this Submission

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.

Fixed a bug that caused RHO to be plotted incorrectly if RHOMIN was specified, and RHO was less than RHOMIN. Thanks to Wajih Elsallal.
