Set the radial gridlines on a polar plot.

Parameters¶

radiituple with floats

The radii for the radial gridlines

labelstuple with strings or None

The labels to use at each radial gridline. The matplotlib.ticker.ScalarFormatter will be used if None.

anglefloat

The angular position of the radius labels in degrees.

fmtstr or None

Format string used in matplotlib.ticker.FormatStrFormatter. For example ‘%f’.

Returns¶

lineslist of .lines.Line2D

The radial gridlines.

labelslist of .text.Text

The tick labels.

Other Parameters¶

**kwargs

kwargs are optional .Text properties for the labels.

Warning

This only sets the properties of the current ticks. Ticks are not guaranteed to be persistent. Various operations can create, delete and modify the Tick instances. There is an imminent risk that these settings can get lost if you work on the figure further (including also panning/zooming on a displayed figure).

Use .set_tick_params instead if possible.
