Although this example allows a frame of either 'circle' or 'polygon', polygon frames don't have proper gridlines (the lines are circles instead of polygons). It's possible to get a polygon grid by setting GRIDLINE_INTERPOLATION_STEPS in matplotlib.axis to the desired number of vertices, but the orientation of the polygon is not aligned with the radial axes. ..
