> It is really nice to have polar coordinates implemented in Plots.jl: using Plots; gr() plot(linspace(0,3π,100), rand(100), proj=:polar, m=:red) [polar] and even nicer to interact with them using the PlotlyJS backend. However, I can’t find documentation on how to plot heatmaps and contour plots in polar coordinates. Could you please give a hand?

Maybe you want the option `proj = :polar`.
