Inset_axes in polar coordinates

Question

I am using matplotlib.axes.Axes.inset_axes ( https://matplotlib.org/3.1.1/api/_as_gen/matplotlib.axes.Axes.inset_axes.html ) to create an child axe of a an existing parent axe.

How do I set it to polar coordinates? I can not use this: Matplotlib inset polar plot as 'Axes' object has no property 'polar' .

But inset_axes only returns Axes objects and not projections.polar.PolarAxes ..

Answer 1

From the comment of ImportanceOfBeingErnest:

just use mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.inset_locator.inset_axes() instead, with the parameter axes_class = matplotlib.projections.get_projection_class('polar') .
