Bug summary
I would like to create a polar plot without the grid lines. When using ax.set_xticks([]) (and/or yticks/rticks) the plot appears distorted.
Code for reproduction
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
D = np.array([[2,.3],[.3,2.5]])
# creating an ellipse)
lam, vec = np.linalg.eigh(D)
theta = np.linspace(-np.pi,np.pi,1001)
xy = np.stack((lam[0]*np.cos(theta), lam[1]*np.sin(theta)), axis=0)
xy = vec.T@xy
radii = np.sqrt(np.sum(xy**2, axis=0))
thetas = np.arctan2(-xy[1],xy[0])
plt.figure()
# with ticks
ax1 = plt.subplot(121,projection='polar')
ax1.plot(thetas, radii)
# without ticks
ax2 = plt.subplot(122, projection='polar')
ax2.plot(thetas, radii)
ax2.set_yticks([])
ax2.set_xticks([])
plt.show()Actual outcome
