Is there a way to move the r-axis tic labels in a polar plot to another theta angle?

I have some results that are plotted on my polar plot, but the r-axis labels are interfering with some of the data. Can I move the r-axis tic labels to another theta rotation?

Use the polaraxes property RAxisLocation.

t = 0 : .01 : 2*pi;
h = polarplot(t, sin(2*t).*cos(2*t), '--r');
ax = ancestor(h, 'polaraxes');
ax.RAxisLocation = 180;
