polar

Maxima Graphic object

Calling Sequence

polar (radius,ang,minang,maxang)

Description

Draws 2D functions defined in polar coordinates.

2D

polar (radius,ang,minang,maxang) plots function radius(ang) defined in polar coordinates, with variable ang taking values from minang to maxang.

This object is affected by the following graphic options: nticks, line_width, line_type, key and color.

Example:

(%i1) load(draw)$
(%i2) draw2d(user_preamble = "set grid polar",
             nticks        = 200,
             xrange        = [-5,5],
             yrange        = [-5,5],
             color         = blue,
             line_width    = 3,
             title         = "Hyperbolic Spiral",
             polar(10/theta,theta,1,10*%pi) )$
