Windrose Percent Interval Frequencies Are Non Linear! Help!

? Do you two or anyone
else out there happen to know if it is possible to specify the
 width of the intervals in windrose?? Is there
a parameter that I can pass along that would do this??
 Below is a reproducible script in which you can see
the uneven interval spacing.? And thanks again for your answers.

The "Details" of ?windrose in circular says
quite explicitly that it preserves the areas of "pedals" [sic],
so it's unlikely that this is adjustable without hacking the
code. (Hmmm, maybe I will write to the maintainers and ask
them to correct the spelling of "petals" throughout ...)

  On the other hand, there are a *lot* of alternative windrose/circular
histogram-plotting functions out there in CRAN-contrib-land.
library("sos"); findFn("wind rose") finds them in packages
plotrix, openair, oce, climatol, IDPmisc, ggplot2 ... and
that's not counting rose.diag in the CircStats package.

  I would take a quick look and see if any of those packages
work for you.
