Polar Function Plots
|
Click the Home | New Graph | Function | Polar Function Plot or the Home | New Graph | Function | Polar Parametric Function Plot command to display mathematical functions on a polar axis. No data files are required for this type of plot. You can plot R as a function of A or plot a parametric equation where R and A are functions of a third variable, T. Click the Function Plot or Parametric Function Plot buttons to create polar function plots. |

Polar function plots display functions on an angle axis. This polar function plot is displaying the parametric function R=F(T)=T and A=G(T)=2*T |
This polar function plot is displaying the function: R=F(A)=Cos(A)+2 |
Creating a New Polar Function Graph
To create a polar function graph:
- Click the Home | New Graph | Function | Polar Function Plot or the Home | New Graph | Function | Polar Parametric Function Plot command.
- A polar function plot is created with the default equation. Use the Property Manager to customize plot properties.
Editing Polar Function Plot Properties
