Change axis length in polar.plot?

Question

I want to draw a polar graph in R.

I found plotrix, which has polar.plot, but I'm open to any other solutions.

It plots a polygon just fine, even though I have a few thousand points, so great!

My question: how can I change the start value of the radial axis? ie, how to do ylim in polar.plot?

Try using ggplot2 - it has a coord_polar() command to make polar plots

Thanks! I'm looking for a solution in 'R' – Hugh Perkins Oct 28 '12 at 07:05

Oh, ggplot2 is an R library in fact? I was searching for something else, and found another reference, along with some R code using ggplot2 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9946630/colour-points-in-a-plot-differently-depending-on-a-vector-of-values/9948995#9948995 – Hugh Perkins Oct 29 '12 at 03:02

I found a solution for polar.plot: option radial.lim.
