Open Live Script

Create a polar plot of cosine powers rotated in 30° increments. Generate a legend label for this plot.

az = [0:359]';
a1 = abs(cosd(az).^5);
a2 = abs(cosd(az - 30).^5);
a3 = abs(cosd(az - 60).^5);
a4 = abs(cosd(az - 90).^5);
P = polarpattern([a1,a2,a3,a4],'Style','filled');
createLabels(P,'az = %d#deg',0:30:90)

Figure Polar Measurement contains an axes object. The hidden axes object contains 4 objects of type patch. These objects represent az = 0° Ⓐ , az = 30° , az = 60° , az = 90° .

Input Arguments

collapse all

Polar plot, specified as a scalar handle.

Example: polarpattern

Format for legend label added to the polar plot, specified as a cell array. For more information on legend label format see, legend.

Example: "az=%d#deg"

Data Types: string

Values to apply the format, specified as an array. The values can be an array of angles or array of magnitudes.

Example: [0 15 30 45]

Data Types: double
