@michaelaye Thanks for the examples. That is really helpful! Do you have any clicks/burst indicators examples at hand?

This is really a mess. Radians/degrees seem to be chosen randomly: **Radians:** - internally used coordinates and given data points - positional arguments in `set_thetalim` - `get/set_theta_offset` **Degrees:** - keyword...

I agree that changing everything to radians is technically simpler. The only concern I have here is that the axis is labelled in degrees, which would still be somewhat awkward.

IMHO this is fundamentally reasonable and we should keep it open in an aspirational sense. But unless someone is stepping up there’s likely no near-term action.

Please hold up merging. I have some reservations. Will explain soon.

In the general case, no point in the colormap is special; and thus it's an arbitrary choice to which color you render singular values. However, for divergent colormaps, the center...
