SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the need for free, downloadable graphing software capable of plotting polar coordinates without requiring the user to define r(t). Gnuplot is recommended as a suitable tool for this purpose, providing powerful graphing capabilities. Additionally, Microcal Origin Version 7.0 is suggested for creating visually appealing plots, although it requires numerical data for plotting. Users seeking to visualize irreducible functions can utilize these tools effectively.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with polar coordinates and their representation
  • Basic understanding of Gnuplot syntax and commands
  • Knowledge of data formatting for Microcal Origin Version 7.0
  • Experience with graphing software interfaces
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore Gnuplot documentation for advanced plotting techniques
  • Learn how to format data for Microcal Origin Version 7.0
  • Research methods for visualizing irreducible functions in graphing software
  • Investigate alternative graphing tools that support polar coordinates
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, physicists, and mathematicians working with polar coordinates, particularly those involved in astrophysics or complex function visualization.

Hi,

I'm currently doing some work with black holes and I need a powerful graphing tool.

Are there any free, downloadable graphing programs that can graph polar coordinates without having to make r(t) = ...?

I have some irreducable functions I need to view.

Thanks!

gri makes better looking plots. But you'll need numerical data of what you're plotting though.
 
Use "Microcal Origin Version 7.0", a window based software.
