Hi,
I am locking for a routine to display data [radius, theta, intensity]
in a polar plot (in a polar coordinate system)
not like polar_contour and polar_surface
(they display the data in a cartesian system).
Thanks
Mirko

What about using the coordinates of a north polar stereographic
projection by employing map_set, 90, -90, /stereo, /iso,
limit=[0,0,90,360]
wouldn't that work for you as well?
