Abstract#
It is clear that polar plots need to be able to gracefully handle negative r values (not by clipping or reflection).
Detailed description#
One obvious application that we should support is bB plots (see
matplotlib/matplotlib#1730),
but this seems more generally useful (for example growth rate as a
function of angle). The assumption in the current code (as I
understand it) is that the center of the graph is r==0
, however it
would be good to be able to set the center to be at any r
(with any
value less than the offset clipped).
