Radial Plots and Smooth Density Plots

[n1person]

Hello,

I am interested in making plots similar to those attached (I have my own date :P). Any recommendations on what software to use? I suppose there are two things I would like it to do (although either one alone would be nice):

1. Create nice radial/polar diagrams with the angles and distances marked nicely.
2. Create a smooth (colored?) density profile, extrapolating from a relatively small finite sample.

I frequently use gnuplot, but I cannot find any way of doing anything like this. Also I tried using matplotlib (python stuff) but, similarly, there is no easy/apparent way of doing it :(

Thanks!

There are a few options you can use to generate the types of plots you are looking for. For radial/polar diagrams, you can use Matplotlib or Seaborn in Python, or MATLAB. For density plots, you can use Seaborn or ggplot2 in R, or MATLAB. You can also use online software like Plotly or Chartio to generate your plots. Hope this helps!
