Hi,

I am sorry that no one got to answer your request sooner. Currently Octave
implements the "polar" function so the code to produce a circular background
and grid lines is in polar.m.

IIUC the idea of the project is that most of the work done in polar.m could
be done much more efficiently and accurately if we had a dedicated low level
object: a PolarAxes that only has relevant properties [1].

So the first stage of the GSOC project is to add a new low level
graphics_object type (see graphics.in.h and .cc), possibly based on axes
objects, and then create an interface function __go_polaraxes__ to
instantiate the new objects from m-code.

The second part of the project is implementing the polaraxes.m function.
