@MathWorks Support Team Can you please let me know how the XDdata/YData or the vertices are being obtained in the function polarpattern? Thankyou in advance.

I completely agree with the last point of yours and in that case it is completely fine for them to not disclose it here. However I have been able to find and alternate way of getting my desired results and I have that it might be usefull for other. I am posting the code that I have written.

There is a similar question in https://ww2.mathworks.cn/matlabcentral/answers/451422-how-to-use-patch-fill-on-a-polarplot, this may be helpful.
