I am trying to create a radial column chart using python and can only figure out how to make a polar plot. I am trying to make something like this

Where the bars do not fan out away from the center.

My current code is:

ax = plt.subplot(111,projection = 'polar')

plt.bar(theta, y)

but the bars fan out, achieving what is detailed on matplotlib's site

Did you set the width of the bar to a small number? Depending on the data you could also use `plt.plot` instead – BenT Dec 04 '20 at 03:58
Also `plt.stem` could be an option to explore in this case. – JohanC Dec 04 '20 at 07:40
