Bug summary

There is no documentation, as far as I can tell, explaining how quiver should behave with polar plots, and usingpyplot.quiver with a polar plot results in odd plotting behaviour.

Code for reproduction

importnumpyasnpfrommatplotlibimportpyplotaspltfig,ax=plt.subplots(subplot_kw={"polar":True})longitude=np.arange(5,365,10)colatitude=90-np.ones_like(longitude)*60sample_x=np.ones_like(longitude)# Northwardsample_y=np.ones_like(longitude)# Eastwardq=ax.quiver(np.radians(longitude),colatitude,sample_x,sample_y,angles="xy")

Actual outcome

Expected outcome

I would expect the code to plot arrows which were vectors pointing all pointing northeast; i.e., I expectsample_x to be defined as the northward (poleward) vector andsample y to be defined as the eastward (azimuthal) vector.
