I have data typically graphed as 'value (B) against angle (A)' as a plot (for angles -90 to 90) that I wish to graph as a polar plot. What command(s) can I write that'll graph this data with polar axes for angle as: -90 (on the left) to 90 (on the right) via 0 (below in the middle)?

Some detail is missing.
How do you want the tick labels to appear on the left side?
What do you want the top value (currently 180°) to be?
th = linspace(0, 2*pi, 360);
r = sin(2*th).^2;
figure
polarplot(th,r)
Ax = gca;
Ax.ThetaZeroLocation = 'bottom';
TTL = Ax.ThetaTickLabel
TTL = 12×1 cell array
{'0°' } {'30°' } {'60°' } {'90°' } {'120°'} {'150°'} {'180°'} {'210°'} {'240°'} {'270°'} {'300°'} {'330°'}

Where you have 270 to 0 to 90, I want -90 to 0 to 90. I also want the top half of the graph gone leaving a semicircular polar plot.

Try something like this —
th = linspace(0, 2*pi, 360);
r = exp(-0.1*th).*sin(2*th).^2;
figure
polarplot(th,r)
title('Original')
figure
polarplot(th+pi/2,r) % It May Be Necessary To Shift The Plot Phase (+90° Or +π/2) For This To Work Correctly
Ax = gca;
Ax.ThetaZeroLocation = 'bottom';
Ax.ThetaLim = [270 270+180];
Ax.ThetaTickLabel = compose('%d°',-90:30:90);
title('Shifted')
I needed to make my original function radially asymmetric to test this to be certain it would work correctly. It may be necessary for you to experiment with shifting the angles as well.

‘One small thing though, how do I set custom gridlines (every 15^o rather than every 30^o)?’

% Create plot
figure
theta = linspace(0,2*pi,25);
rho = 2*theta;
polarplot(theta,rho);
% Define a variable with the tick labels
thetaTickLabels = {'0°';'30°';'60°';'90°';'120°';'150°';'180°';'-150°';'-120°';'-90°';'-60°';'-30°'};
% Set theta how you want
set(gca,"ThetaZeroLocation","bottom", ...
"ThetaDir","counterclockwise", ...
"ThetaTickLabels",thetaTickLabels)
See the documentation for polarplot for details.
Note that while the axes are labeled in degrees, the default input is in radians. (That same page shows how to convert, if you need to.)

That's really helpful thanks, but how do I edit it to remove the top half of the graph (-90, 180, 90) leaving a semi-circular plot?
