U3.08
Polar and non-Cartesian scales
Cards in this group · 5
- U3.08.1Polar coordinates map one variable to angle, the other to radius
- U3.08.2Equal radius increments give unequal areas; outer rings are systematically enlarged
- U3.08.3Polar coordinates suit inherently periodic variables
- U3.08.4Radar-chart axis order changes the polygon's shape and area
- U3.08.5Magnitude comparison under polar coordinates is harder than in Cartesian
