How does one set the axis limits in polar plots?

Well, unfortunately there's no direct way to do it. But you can cheat (yay! cheating!). Let's say you know you want to have the radial dimension go out to 2. You can add a line of constant radius and then make it invisible:
t = 0 : .01 : 2 * pi;
P = polar(t, 2 * ones(size(t)));
set(P, 'Visible', 'off')
Now you can add the data you actually want to plot:
hold on
polar(t, sin(2 * t) .* cos(2 * t), '--r')

@Eric Agreed. The lack of coherence between MATLAB function is a shame. In this case, we have a plotting function where not only xlim or ylim just don't work, you can't also for instance use 'LineWidth' as argument as you do with plot(). But if you do p = polar(), p.LineWidth property does in fact exists! It is just that someone could't be bothered to add property pairs to polar() itself in more than a decade!

With the introduction of the polaraxes function in release R2016a you now have access to properties like ThetaLim and RLim.

If you want to plot something such as antenna pattern for e.g. -40 dB to 0dB you may use the following code:
data = 10*log10(abs(data)./max(abs(data))); % Normalize your data
range = -40; % Choose the minimum value in dB
data(isnan(data)) = range;
data = data - range;
data = data./max(data);
data(data < 0) = 0;
polar(theta,data,'k')
view([90 270])
set(findall(gcf, 'String', '0' ),'String', ' ');
set(findall(gcf, 'String', ' 0.2' ),'String', num2str(range-(range*0.2)) );
set(findall(gcf, 'String', ' 0.4' ),'String', num2str(range-(range*0.4)) );
set(findall(gcf, 'String', ' 0.6' ),'String', num2str(range-(range*0.6)) );
set(findall(gcf, 'String', ' 0.8' ),'String', num2str(range-(range*0.8)) );
set(findall(gcf, 'String', ' 1' ),'String', '0 dB' );

could you explain? I'm trying to plot a graph of antenna radiation from -30 to 10 dB. I have a table of the values I digitized using an onlne website, but I can't scale my graph to match the original graph.
