3 views (last 30 days)
hello everyone , I have Cartesian values in an excel table and I want to plot them in a polar graph, I have transformed them into polar values and radian. by executing the code I have only the empty graph that appears. Help me please. here is the code I use.
dataset=xlsread('tabl.xlsx','tableau','D2:E131');
x=dataset(:,1);
y=dataset(:,2);
[t,r] = cart2pol(x,y),
x1=t*deg2rad;
y1=r*deg2rad;
polarplot(x1,y1,'g','markers',20);

Note that deg2rad requires arguments. I am somewhat surprised not providing them did not throw an error.
You do not need to use it anyway. From the cart2pol documentation for theta (link):
  • Angular coordinate, returned as an array. theta is the counterclockwise angle in the x-y plane measured in radians from the positive x-axis. (Emphasis added.)
You did not provide your ‘tabl.xlsx’ file, so we cannot specifically help you with it. Nevertheless, try this:
polarplot(t, r, 'g', 'markers',20);
