Axes Limits

MATLAB provides us with options to change the limits of r and theta axis by using the rlim() and thetalim() functions.

Syntax:

rlim(<limits of r-axis>)

thetalim(<limits of theta-axis>)

We can pass a certain range for the limits of r-axis and theta-axis and the above functions will change the visible range of the polar axes. We will plot a sin curve in polar axes with theta ranging from 0 to 270 degrees and r ranging from 0 to 1.5.

Example 1:

Matlab

% MATLAB code for
% Defining polar axes
ax=polaraxes;
 
% Defining x data 
r=linspace(-pi,pi);    
 
% Plotting sin(r) in axes ax
plot(ax,r,sin(r))
 
% Setting r-limits to 0->1.5
rlim([0 1.5])    
 
%Setting theta-limits to 0->270 degrees
thetalim([0 270])

Output:

Polar Axes Appearance and Behavior in MATLAB

Polar axes are coordinate axes where the two coordinate axes are r-axis for magnitude and theta-axis for angles. MATLAB has many functions to change the properties of these polar axes which we shall see throughout this article. In this article we shall see how to modify following properties of polar axes in MATLAB:

Axes limits
Axes ticks
Axes tick labels
R-axis tick angle

Let us see each of these with an example each.
