[Matplotlib-users] Polar plots of radar scans

[Stephens, A \(Ag\) <A.S...@rl...>]

Dear all,

I am just looking at matplotlib for the first time and liking very much
what I see. I have a requirement to try and plot a horizontal scan from
a radar. The incoming data is simply array(distanceFromInstrument,
azimuth). Has anybody tried doing for a polar plot without converting
the data to a lat/lon grid first?

An example of what I'd like to do is visible at:

Thanks,

Ag
