Polar Plotting
Description
When plotting in polar coordinates, $\theta$ is the input variable and $r$ is the output. The Sage cell below plots the function
(1)\begin{align} r( \theta) = 3 \sin ( 3\theta ), \end{align}
which is a three-leaf rose.

Code
var( "theta" )
p = polar_plot( 3 * sin( 3 * theta ), (theta, 0, 2*pi), frame = True )
pOptions
None
