Abstract#

It is clear that polar plots need to be able to gracefully handlenegative r values (not by clipping or reflection).

Detailed description#

One obvious application that we should support is bB plots (seematplotlib/matplotlib#1730),but this seems more generally useful (for example growth rate as afunction of angle). The assumption in the current code (as Iunderstand it) is that the center of the graph isr==0, however itwould be good to be able to set the center to be at anyr (with anyvalue less than the offset clipped).
