Description
Hi!
Your plotting library is really awesome! Thanks for that!
I'm currently trying to make the switch from matplotlib (for Python plots) to Plotly (also Python) and I was looking for an option to display contour plots in a polar coordinate system.
I came across the following issue in plotly.py where @emmanuelle suggested to create a post here in plotly.js.
Do you guys have the intention of creating a Contourpolar type of chart? Similar to the plot show below (created in matplotlib):
(source)
I've tried the Barpolar option, but it's not sufficient for the amount of detail I would like to visualize (a 360 degree water surface elevation plot), I think the plot I would like to display greatly benefits from being a contour plot.
Thanks in advance,
Sil

First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
The issue does not identify a file, test, or entry point. Start by tracing how Plotly.js represents polar and contour traces, then determine the scope needed for a Contourpolar chart. Done means a contour plot can display detailed data in polar coordinates with coverage in the relevant tests.
