Matplotlib 中的一半或四分之一极坐标图？

Question

我正在尝试在 Matplotlib 中制作一个 180 度而不是 360 度的极坐标图，类似于 http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/27230-half-polar-coordinates-figure-plot-function-halfpolar。有什么想法吗？

Answer 1

以下适用于 matplotlib 2.1 或更高版本。还有一个示例 在 matplotlib 页面上。
您可以使用常用的极坐标图，ax = Fig.add_subplot(111, Polar=True) 并限制 theta 范围。对于半极坐标图

ax.set_thetamin(0)
ax.set_thetamax(180)

或四分之一极坐标图

ax.set_thetamin(0)
ax.set_thetamax(90)

完整示例：

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

theta = np.linspace(0,np.pi)
r = np.sin(theta)

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, polar=True)
c = ax.scatter(theta, r, c=r, s=10, cmap='hsv', alpha=0.75)

ax.set_thetamin(0)
ax.set_thetamax(180)

plt.show()

如果有人只需要简单的四分之一半图，官方 matplotlib 文档中的示例代码可能会有点模糊。
我编写了一个代码片段，可以帮助不太熟悉 AxisArtists 的人here 。
