Beautiful circos plots in Python
Circos is one of the most popular software packages for displaying the inter-relationships between data in a matrix. For example, in the bioinformatics field, circos style plots are often used for visualizing genomic similarities and features. However, the original package is implemented in Perl, and the other derived packages were also developed based on R or d3.js. Thus, there are no practical tools for drawing circos plots in matplotlib. 

Here, I made [pyCircos](https://github.com/ponnhide/pyCircos) that allow drawing circos plots with matplotlib. By using this package, not only circos plots but also complex polar plots can be quickly drawn.

I hope the package help users visualize a beautiful polar plot.
