Matplotlib Polar Plot with Lines

Question

尝试使用线条代替条形在Matplotlib中创建风玫瑰。换句话说，我想要这样的东西（用Gnuplot创建），其中线条沿着整个长度具有一致的厚度，并且沿着径向从原点延伸到风速（红色是最新的观察，靛蓝是巅峰时期，随着年龄的增长，年长的痘痘会变暗：

我最接近的就是这个（请忽略除线条之外的任何差异）：

我尝试过的所有内容都以“粉丝们”的方式绘制。从原点 - 无论是酒吧，线条，箭头等等。这是情节线：

bars = ax.bar(wind_direction, wind_speed, width=.075, linewidth=0.1, edgecolor='black', zorder=3)

SOLUTION：

这是完整的代码，用于创建所需的绘图（在此行的正上方），感谢@ cphlewis＆＃39;固定。尝试使用plot时我的错误是在一个命令中绘制所有数据，而不是＆＃39; n＆＃39;图的数量（单独绘制每一行。）

你真正的问题是，如何用线而不是条形图绘制极坐标图？答案：plot。这样做的最小和完整的例子：

#! /usr/bin/env python2.6
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import csv
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

bar_colors     = ['#333333', '#444444', '#555555', '#666666', '#777777', '#888888', '#999999', '#AA0000']
num_obs        = len(bar_colors)

# Make up some data
wind_direction = (2*3.14)*(np.random.random_sample(num_obs))
wind_speed = 5 * np.random.random_sample(num_obs)
wind = zip(wind_direction, wind_speed, bar_colors) # polar(theta,r)

# Polar plotting
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(3, 3))  # Size
ax = plt.subplot(111, polar=True)  # Create subplot
plt.grid(color='#888888')  # Color the grid
ax.set_theta_zero_location('N')  # Set zero to North

for w in wind:
    #ax.plot(wind_speed, wind_direction, c = bar_colors, zorder = 3)
    ax.plot((0, w[0]), ( 0, w[1]), c = w[2], zorder = 3)

fig.show()
