    <p>I want to generate an azimuth-elevation plot depicting the motion of a body over a range of dates. In the example figure below, I made a polar plot of the data using standard matplotlib calls. However, I want to programmatically add tic marks and text labels to some of the points to annotate the date associated with the data. These were added to the figure below using Gimp.</p> <p>Ideally, I'd like for the tic marks to be drawn normal to the curve location where they're plotted but I could live with having them vertical or horizontal if I can have them with an existing matplotlib function call. However, I haven't been able to find a set of functions that do this. Are there such things or do I need to write my own?</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/0eiUS.png" alt="AZ-EL plot with annotations"></p> <pre><code>from matplotlib.pyplot import * azel = [(0.13464431952125472,294.0475121469728,41761.31282856121), (1.0847050101323694, 294.07215546949817, 41762.31339111264), (2.0568066678342625, 294.08166309282285, 41763.3139526239), (3.0241776724839813, 294.07688196040385, 41764.3145128838), (3.9693016837899107, 294.05876829872494, 41765.315071676574), (4.880729810599228, 294.0283602965401, 41766.315628782446), (5.750685455655052, 293.98677810487305, 41767.31618397785), (6.573500415719916, 293.93516919550444, 41768.316737037436), (7.344961744736395, 293.8748176439982, 41769.31728773474), (8.061838763227069, 293.80692556364824, 41770.317835842376), (8.7216239379929, 293.732913633802, 41771.31838113272), (9.322354443421153, 293.65412057153674, 41772.31892337514), (9.862485802985763, 293.57204901846984, 41773.319462333326), (10.340798827919878, 293.48820161621876, 41774.31999776034), (10.756318508719481, 293.40413564791425, 41775.32052939467), (11.108256812309081, 293.3215176797138, 41776.32105695697), (11.395961455622944, 293.2420689192882, 41777.321580147836), (11.618873216922772, 293.16759253657835, 41778.32209864656), (11.776501176361972, 293.09997366379525, 41779.322612110234), (11.868395395228971, 293.04117939541976, 41780.32312017416), (11.894134963116164, 292.9932041466896, 41781.32362245329), (11.853317752636167, 292.95820625738247, 41782.324118542434), (11.745559565648168, 292.9383167465194, 41783.32460801967), (11.57050010967345, 292.9358305576615, 41784.325090448285), (11.327811535631849, 292.95306995512664, 41785.32556538106), (11.01721978218292, 292.9923298824759, 41786.32603236289), (10.638530188935318, 293.0560692078104, 41787.32649093496), (10.191665062487234, 293.1466921577181, 41788.32694063783), (9.676711487750586, 293.26663027954356, 41789.32738101277), (9.093982799653546, 293.4182877998745, 41790.32781160377), (8.444096276542357, 293.6040416245422, 41791.328231959254), (7.728075593018872, 293.82621401786434, 41792.328641632426), (6.947485289289849, 294.08704528188883, 41793.32904018317), (6.104631834860636, 294.3886391148799, 41794.329427178716), (5.202865010632301, 294.7329352905619, 41795.3298021964), (4.247126458469349, 295.12173697887573, 41796.3301648264), (3.2448043086196177, 295.55651950068204, 41797.3305146729), (2.2076748744292662, 296.0385122900315, 41798.3308513581), (1.1552935211005704, 296.56867157340787, 41799.33117452266), (0.12014145335536401, 297.1474344829181, 41800.33148382535)] fig = figure() ax = fig.add_subplot(1,1,1,projection='polar') ax.plot([az for el,az,_ in azel], [el for el,az,_ in azel]) ylim([0,25]) show() </code></pre>
