我想知道，是否可以偏移径向轴的起始点或将其移动到图形外部。
这是我希望实现的效果：
而目前我的效果如下：
我已经阅读了文档和 SO 上的不同主题，但没有找到任何有用的信息。如果没有在任何地方提到，那是否意味着它根本不可能呢？
先行致谢。
编辑（添加了创建绘图所使用的代码片段）：
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='polar')
ax.set_theta_zero_location('N')
ax.set_theta_direction(-1)
ax.plot(X,lines[li]*yScalingFactor,label=linelabels[li],color=color,linestyle=ls)
为了抵消径向轴的起始位置:
注：从Matplotlib 2.2.3版本开始，有一个叫做set_rorigin的新Axes方法可以实现这个功能。您可以使用理论上的径向坐标调用它。如果您调用ax.set_ylim(0, 2)和ax.set_rorigin(-1)，则中心圆的半径将是图表半径的三分之一。
对于Matplotlib < 2.2.3的快速而简单的解决方法是将较低的径向坐标限制设置为负值，并在圆形后面隐藏绘图的内部部分：
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
CIRCLE_RES = 36 # resolution of circle inside
def offset_radial_axis(ax):
x_circle = np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi, CIRCLE_RES)
y_circle = np.zeros_like(x_circle)
ax.fill(x_circle, y_circle, fc='white', ec='black', zorder=2) # circle
ax.set_rmin(-1) # needs to be after ax.fill. No idea why.
ax.set_rticks([tick for tick in ax.get_yticks() if tick >= 0])
# or set the ticks manually (simple)
# or define a custom TickLocator (very flexible)
# or leave out this line if the ticks are fully behind the circle
添加一个位于图形外部的刻度尺：
您可以在其他轴的上半部分添加一个额外的轴对象，并使用它的yaxis：
X_OFFSET = 0 # to control how far the scale is from the plot (axes coordinates)
def add_scale(ax):
# add extra axes for the scale
rect = ax.get_position()
rect = (rect.xmin-X_OFFSET, rect.ymin+rect.height/2, # x, y
rect.width, rect.height/2) # width, height
scale_ax = ax.figure.add_axes(rect)
# hide most elements of the new axes
for loc in ['right', 'top', 'bottom']:
scale_ax.spines[loc].set_visible(False)
scale_ax.tick_params(bottom=False, labelbottom=False)
scale_ax.patch.set_visible(False) # hide white background
# adjust the scale
scale_ax.spines['left'].set_bounds(*ax.get_ylim())
# scale_ax.spines['left'].set_bounds(0, ax.get_rmax()) # mpl < 2.2.3
scale_ax.set_yticks(ax.get_yticks())
scale_ax.set_ylim(ax.get_rorigin(), ax.get_rmax())
# scale_ax.set_ylim(ax.get_ylim()) # Matplotlib < 2.2.3
把所有内容放在一起：

theta = 2 * np.pi * r

ax.set_rorigin(-1)
# offset_radial_axis(ax) # Matplotlib < 2.2.3
add_scale(ax)
ax.set_title("A line plot on an offset polar axis", va='bottom')

您需要微调轴标签以满足您的要求。我进行了数据缩放，否则与您的绘图相同的问题会发生——内部空白圆将被缩放为点。您可以尝试对极坐标图进行缩放，并在径向轴上放置自定义标签以实现类似的效果。
