how to visualize the multiple matrix data in the cylindrical coordinate

I am confused how to proceed to solve my problem. Problem is as follows:
we have 180 matrix, x-axis of the matrix is symmetric with respect to center point i.e. zero in value.
y-axis is uniformly spaced values.

In principle, this data set is equivalent to cylindrical coordinate system.
X-axis is equivalent to radius, y-axis is equivalent to z and, 180 matrix represent 1 degree step of angle in cylindrical coordinate. Due to symmetric nature of original x-axis of raw data, 180 matrix is sufficient to cover whole 360 deg in angle.

I would like to plot this data and see in radius vs angle plot i.e. cross-section view along z coordinate (at the moment I do not like to make interpolation to change to cartesian coordinate, because this might produced artifact).

I am using Igor 6.3 version.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your interest.

best, maniraj.
Thanks chinn. I just found a way using matrix to XYZ data to regular xy plot method (little bit complicated but works fine for me).
