Summary[edit]
DescriptionCartesian to polar.gif |
English: A function in the Cartesian plane can be transformed into polar coordinates by wrapping one axis around itself and collapsing it to a point. This is illustrated here transforming the Cartesian graph into the polar graph .
The general transformation takes the following steps: 1. Start with Cartesian graph. 2. Clip the graph to satisfy (not necessary in the example ). 2. Reflect in the line . 3. Bend it to backwards on itself, as shown in the animation, to obtain the polar graph. |
