Creating a polar grid with values in each cell

Hi all,

I have a 14 by 15 data matrix with values between 0 to 1. I need to create a polar grid from 0 to 360 degrees with 15 circular lines and 16 angular lines creating a polar grid of 210 positions.

The grid should be something like that:

R=6000; %radius
S=15;   %num circ.lines
N=16;   %num ang.lines

sect_width=2*pi/N;    
offset_angle=(deg2rad(11.25)):sect_width:2*pi-sect_width+deg2rad(11.25);

%------------------
r=linspace(0,R,S+1);
w=0:.01:2*pi;

clf %remove if needed
figure (1);
hold on
axis equal
for n=2:length(r)

      plot(real(r(n)*exp(1i*w)),imag(r(n)*exp(1i*w)),'k--')

end 

% 
for n=1:length(offset_angle)

      plot(real([0 R]*exp(1i*offset_angle(n))),imag([0 R]*exp(1i*offset_angle(n))),'k-')

end

Each column in the data matrix represents a different angle in the polar plot. In each of these cells I would like to assign a data matrix value. Visually I would like a colored representation for the values in the cells (from 0 to 1). It would have been preferable to have this plot on 3D as well.

Could anybody help me with this polar plot?

Best,

Akis

hi polychronis, Do you have an idea for generating the shape matrix from polar histogram? my question is on below link.
