[Pgfplots-features] Compatibility issue with polar plots and units library

[Christian M. <c.m...@gm...>]

Hi,

since I was not able to file a bug report on SF I report this issue here.

When using polar plots together with the units library, even if the
latter is not actively used in the plot but just loaded, there is
additional white space around the plot due to unused nodes. An example
can be seen at


http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/187421/polar-pgfplots-diagram-adds-additional-whitespace-with-units-library-loaded/188123?noredirect=1#comment435888_188123

For me, the workaround given there to temporary disable the units
library works, but a more general solution would be handy, especially
for people using the two libraries together.

Best regards, Chris

I have identified and repaired the root cause for the bug.

Apparently, the units library always generates xlabel and ylabel -- and 
these, in turn, are undefined for polar axes. In fact, I believe that 
both are meaningless and useless. I modified their styles such that they 
will be displayed inside of the circle, and I added "use units=false" 
for every polar axis (which appears to be as useless as labels). This 
should repair the problem; at least until it becomes clear how these two 
features are supposed to interact.

Thanks for the report.

Kind regards

Christian

Thanks for repairing (and for the explanation, of course) :-)
