Need to change the direction of polar plot theta tick labels from counterclockwise to clockwise.

The audience for my polar plot is airplane pilots. If they face in the direction 000, then to their right is the direction 090 and to their left is 270. This is the opposite of the standard way MATLAB produces polar plots. To satisfy my audience, I need to change the direction of polar plot theta tick labels from counterclockwise to clockwise. How can this be done, please?

Use the ThetaDir name-value pair to reverse the angle direction.

(As a pilot myself, I appreciate this!)

Thanks!

My pleasure!

It also occurred to me that if you want to align the polarplot with the heading indicator, also use ThetaZeroLocation and set it to 'top'.

I tried that and it worked. It makes a very pilot-friendly plot. Thanks very much!
