Taylor diagrams

I am faced with the task of producing some Taylor diagrams, a concept that I first came across yesterday
https://climatedataguide.ucar.edu/climate-data-tools-and-analysis/taylo…

Does this functionality exist in Igor? I can only get so far using the Polar Graphs package - for example, I can't do is user ticks from waves (the angle data will need to be non-linear).

Thanks
If the polar graphs package *did* have a user ticks from wave, would that be useful for this?

Or would there be another hurdle to overcome?

Here's something to start you off; it draws a blank Taylor diagram. You'll need to change the parameters to match your application of course.

Take a look at the attached screen shot of the Taylor diagram graph.
