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 it stays symbolic on its own (graphical front ends like the playground and Woxi Studio render it as a graphic, like Wolfram notebooks):

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