Polar Plot RLim Not Working

I am currently plotting a graph of a certain radiation pattern. I do not want any negative radius values to be plotted. To "recitfy" this situationl, I utilized rlim. However, Negative values are still appearing. Thanks in advance.
This is my code:
theta = linspace(-10*pi,10*pi,10000);
rho = 10.*log10((cos(theta)).^9) + 30;
polarplot(theta, rho);
rlim([0 30]);
This is the graph: I do not wish to see the top and bottom lobes.

Determine the index for non-negative number of rho only.
Beware your data are complex number.
theta = linspace(-10*pi,10*pi,10000);
rho = 10.*log10((cos(theta)).^9) + 30;
idx.pos = rho>=0; % Determine non-negative rho
polarplot(theta(idx.pos), rho(idx.pos));

Thank you for your help! Should I use polar pattern instead of polar plot for this kind of graph in the future?
It really depends on what you would like to present.
For polar pattern, complex number is not allowed, below shows the magnitude plot.
Edit for Correction:
For polarpattern, the angle is in degree instead of radian, so I correct for this as follows:
V = polarpattern(rad2deg(theta),abs(rho))
I see, this is the same shape as the polar plot that is not db scale and is not corrected to remove the negative values.
Yes, the shape is the same.
Function polarpattern provides interactive data visualization and measurement.
