Polar Plot with Maxima



~~~

In 2 dimension, "a polar plot" is a plot in variables of angle and length ,
Maxima can draw in polar coordinates. For example,
load(draw);
draw2d(nticks=200,xrange=[-1,1],yrange=[-1,1],polar(theta/(2*%pi)
,theta,1,(2*%pi) ))$

"on the left axis" implies a rectangular coordinates plot in variables of length and length,
for example the vertical axis and the horizontal axis. 

Maxima can plot the real and complex pars of a complex function in rectangular 
coordinates as a function of an auxiliary paramagnetic variable. For example,
plot2d([['parametric, realpart(%e^(-%i*t)), imagpart(%e^(-%i*t)), [t,0,2*%pi ], 
[nticks,  300]]],  [plot_format, openmath])$

Thanks for your interest in Maxima
