how to plot axes onto an image

Hi,
I have a binary image, a set of contour points, and the coordinate of center of gravity. I want to plot an axis with the origin (0,0) set to the center of gravity. And the axes should be in polar coordinate since I want to have the angle in which the contour points with maximum radius exists.
Can anyone help me with this problem? thanks before
Regards, Vga

This should help you to start with the problem. Everything is centered at the origin (0,0) but that could be adjusted by changing the position values.
% generating random "image" data
a = rand(100,100);
% initial axis
h = axes('position',[0 0 1 1]);
colormap bone
%plotting image
f1 = imagesc(a);
% add axis
h2 = axes('position',[0 0 1 1]);
t = 0:.01:2*pi;
% make polar plot
f2 = polar(h2,t,sin(2*t).*cos(2*t),'r');
% removing background of polar plot - so image shows through
ph=findall(h2,'type','patch');
set(ph,'FaceColor','none')
