| 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 | |
| https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/1730#issuecomment-40815837), | |
| 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). | |
