UV Unwrapping

Hello.

Is it possible to take an unwrapped loop and manipulate the UVs so that the result is a straight line of rectangles rather than the current circular result that you can see in the attached image?

Thanks,
Steve

You can either unwrap per polygon selection which will be a ring or if you need it straight I'd use a spline and lathe-creator combo; its UVs are straight autimatically.
As much as I love it "straight" you might be aware of some downsides regarding distortion:
