Polar plot with error bar
The function is very simple and it uses multiple polar plots. Each error bar is essentially drawn by a polar function - same angle with 2 or 3 radii.
The first two input variables ('angle' and 'avg') are same as the input variables for a standard polar plot. The last input variable is the error value. Note that the length of the error-bar is twice the error value we feed to this function.
I used a trick to set polar plot axis limit which i found at this webpage - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/226315/fixing-the-radial-axis-on-matlab-polar-plots .
