PolarCurve
PolarCurve[r,{θ,θmin,θmax}]
gives a polar curve with radius r as a function of angle θ.
Details
- PolarCurve is also known as polar graph.
- PolarCurve is typically used to describe a geometric region inherently tied to direction and length from a center point.
- PolarCurve[r,{θ,θmin,θmax}] gives a parametric curve with -position and -position corresponding to , .
- PolarCurve[r,θ] is effectively equivalent to PolarCurve[r,{θ,0,2π}].
- PolarCurve is a geometric region and can be used in functions such as ArcLength, Reduce and Integrate.
