## Purpose

Polar coordinate plot.

## Synopsis

    polar(theta,rho)
    polar(theta,rho,'linetype')

## Description

`polar(theta,rho)` makes a polar coordinate plot of the angle `theta`, in radians, versus the radius `rho`.

`polar(theta,rho,'linetype')` specifies a one-, two-, or three-character line style string made from the characters listed under the `plot` command.

## Examples

A simple polar plot:

    t = 0:.01:2*pi;
    polar(t,sin(2*t).*cos(2*t))
