Submitted by Anuj Singh, on August 03, 2020

There is a syntax defined for Polar Plot in matplotlib.pyplot as shown below:

matplotlib.pyplot.subplot(111, projection='polar')
matplotlib.pyplot.plot(theta, r)

This is an example showing the implementation of polar plot.

Example:

Python code for polar plot in python using matplotlib

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

r = np.arange(0, 2, 0.01)
theta = 2 * np.pi * r

plt.subplot(111, projection='polar')
plt.plot(theta, r)
plt.title("A line plot on a polar axis", va='bottom')
plt.show()

Output:

Output is as figure
