Creating a semicircle plot of angular (azimuth) data in MATLAB

Hi,

I would like to use MATLAB to create a figure whereby multiple data points are plotted such that their orientation (azimuth <180 degrees) is on the circumference and their width is on the radius. I have created a sketch of my intention.

Example data:

Orientation (deg)/Thickness (cm)

098/50

150/87

023/64

Is this possible in MATLAB?

Many thanks,

Alex

What you are looking for is likely a polar plot, see documentation here.

Once you plot your data, you can set the way that angles are placed on the polar grid using the view command. See this documentation.
