PolarCurve¶

Graphics primitive representing the polar curve with radius r as a function of the angle t over the range t0 to t1: PolarCurve[r, {t, t0, t1}].

In the CLI Woxi keeps it symbolic on its own so the graphical front ends (the playground and Woxi Studio) can render it as a graphic, like Wolfram notebooks do. (wolframscript instead lowers it to a Region[ParametricRegion[…]], so this bare form is documentation only and not part of the conformance sweep; it is covered by the polar_curves_stay_symbolic_in_script_mode unit test.)

PolarCurve[1 + Cos[t], {t, 0, 2 Pi}]
(* Woxi: PolarCurve[1 + Cos[t], {t, 0, 2*Pi}] *)

Inside Graphics it is rendered as a curve:

$ wo 'Head[Graphics[PolarCurve[1 + Cos[t], {t, 0, 2 Pi}]]]'
Graphics

Style directives like colors and Thickness apply as for Line:

Graphics[{Red, Thickness[0.02], PolarCurve[Sin[3 t], {t, 0, Pi}]}]

Use FilledPolarCurve to fill the region enclosed by the curve.
