Polar Graph Generator

Plot polar equations r(θ) including roses, spirals, and limaçons. Download as PNG.

What Is the Polar Graph Generator?

Polar coordinates represent points by distance r from the origin and angle θ. This plotter renders polar equations like roses r=cos(3θ), spirals r=θ, and cardioids r=1+cos(θ).

Formula

r = f(θ)

How to Use

Enter a polar equation r(θ) using theta or t as the angle variable. Set the θ range (typically 0 to 2π). Click Plot to visualize. Download as PNG.

Example Calculation

To plot a 3-petal rose: enter cos(3*theta), set theta from 0 to 6.28. To plot a cardioid: enter 1+cos(theta). To plot an Archimedean spiral: enter theta/3.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is polar form?

Polar coordinates (r,θ) define a point at distance r from the origin at angle θ measured from the positive x-axis.

What is a rose curve?

A rose curve r=cos(nθ) produces n or 2n petals depending on whether n is odd or even.

Why does my graph not close?

Increase the θ range. Most polar curves need θ from 0 to 2π or 0 to 4π to fully close.
