Show tick marks/grid/axes on top of plot

Hi everyone,

I'm currently plotting a polarscatter plot with a LOT of data on it. Therefore, the data obscures the entirety of the y-axis and the grid. Is there any way to force the axes on top of the graph, or even just the y axis labels and grid?

Here's a start, maybe. You can find other PolarAxes properties you might need to tweak, and fine-tune them similarly.

polarscatter(2*pi*rand(10000,1),rand(10000,1));
set(gca(), ...
    'Layer','top', ...
    'LineWidth',2, ...
    'FontWeight','bold', ...
    'GridAlpha',1, ...
    'MinorGridAlpha',1, ...
    'RColor',[0 0 0], ...
    'ThetaColor',[0 0 0]);
