I would look at the ggplot2 package, I have seen examples using ggplot2 that look similar to what you describe.

However, this package seems to be specific to wind speed and direction, and requires a "ws" (wind speed) and a "wd" (wind direction) column. My data is unrelated to wind speed, but I'd like to be able to get a plot that does what polarFreq's plots do; I'd like to have points that expand as their distance from the center increases. http://www.oga-lab.net/RGM2/func.php?rd_id=openair:polarFreq Without this property, my plot looks more like spokes on a wheel, or similar to the polar.plot function in the plotrix package: http://www.oga-lab.net/RGM2/func.php?rd_id=plotrix:polar.plot Is there a package or function available that allows the creation of a plot as described above for a generic set of polar data? I spent a few hours today trying to find something I could use, but no luck yet. I'm using data of the form: x = r, y = theta, and z = a value to plot at the corresponding r,theta (as a comparison, for the polarFreq plot, z would be the frequency that is indicated by various colors in the plot). I appreciate any help!
