plot polar coordinates
...cles of radius 40
respectively 60 (The first argument of "line" should be the angle, the
second the length.)? Or: which function plots in existing polar plots?
(Remark the the polygone is not complete, eg going around)
My final goal will be such a plot:
http://www.mysundial.ca/tsp/images/sun_chart_50_solar_polar.jpg which
is the polar-coordinate version of my wikimedia plot

Thanks for hints and help,

plotrix: reverse axis in polar.plot
Hi,
how can I reverse the radius axis of plotrix's polar.plot function?
Perhaps this sounds strange, but I use the radians for angles as well:
In the center is zenith and the corresponding angle is 90?, not 0. See
an example plot at
http://www.mysundial.ca/tsp/images/sun_chart_50_solar_polar.jpg
dirs<-c("S","E","N","W")
polar.plot(NA,NA,label.pos=seq(0,270,length=4),labels=dirs,main="Sun
Chart",rp.type="p",radial.lim=c(0,90))
lines(c(4,12,15,22,45,55),c(10,83,118,90,72,61),col="red")
And why is the radial limit...
