polar spines are brittle #16066
Description
Bug report
Bug summary
Because Spine is mostly written for rectilinear axes, calling some seemingly harmless methods on polar spines can completely mess up their positioning.
Code for reproduction
from pylab import *
polar()
print(gca().spines["polar"].get_position())
show()or
from pylab import *; polar(); print(gca().spines["polar"].get_spine_transform())Actual outcome
Expected outcome
The spine stays correct, or at least the get_foo getter raises an exception.
