Re: [Matplotlib-users] how to make a polar plot just of a section with grid

2010-10-21 Thread Stefan Mauerberger
Hi Frederick, thanks for your answer. The option *faceted* I already knew but this is not exactly what I want. Perhaps it would be possible to draw the grid without labels. My goal is to draw a grid with labels above the data. Similar to the example 'demo curvelinear grid'. Regards Stefan
