title: Matplotlib polar plot radial axis offset
body: <p>I was wondering, is it possible to offset the start of the radial axis or move it outside of the graph.</p>
  
  <p>This is what I'm hoping to achieve:</p>

  <p>And this is what I have for now.</p>

  <p>I have read the documentation and different topics on SO, but I couldn't find anything helpful. Does that mean that it is not even possible if it is not mentioned anywhere.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you in advance.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT (added snippet of a code used to create the plot):</p>
  
  <pre><code>ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='polar')
  ax.set_theta_zero_location('N')
  ax.set_theta_direction(-1)      
  ax.plot(X,lines[li]*yScalingFactor,label=linelabels[li],color=color,linestyle=ls)
  </code></pre>
