Problem with radialaxis ticks in polar plot when using date values #3481
Description
Hello, I managed to create a polar heatmap plot following the examples given in #2024, but when trying to use time as the radial dimension I found some problems with the ticks. I tried with tickmodes auto, linear and array but got wrong ticks with all of them. The time values shown in the hover are correct, only the ticks appear to be wrong. Does anyone have a suggestion on what may be the problem?
Thank you.
