Polar graph paper, also known as polar coordinate paper, is a graph paper with concentric circles (with equal spacing between them) that are divided into small arcs. In plotting on this paper, one measures a radial distance from the pole (origin) and then rotates an angle of theta degrees from the polar axis (positive x axis).
In polar coordinates, the point (r, ?) is described as being a certain distance (r) from the pole (origin) and at a certain angle (?) from the polar axis (positive horizontal axis).
The polar coordinates graph below demonstrates the plotting of three points. The red point has polar coordinates of (6, 60 o ). The green point has polar coordinates of (2, 170 o ). And, the purple point has polar coordinates of (8, 260 o ).
ADVERTISEMENTWe have four styles of polar coordinates graph paper.
-- six inch graph, black ink, one chart
-- four inch graph, black ink, two charts
-- six inch graph, blue ink, one chart
-- four inch graph, blue ink, two charts
Choose a size and an ink color that will work well with your plot. These charts print on a standard sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 paper. They can be opened and printed with a .pdf document reader such as Adobe Reader.
