The same point in degrees and radians is shown below:

polarXd(1,45,2.5)  polarYd(1,45,3.0) degrees
polarX(1,pi/4,2.5)  polarY(1,pi/4,3.0) radians

Notice that this point includes a specific center point. If you don’t specify a center point, the current origin for the setup is used. Rotation is specified from or parallel to the x axis of the current setup.

The math for generating these points is:

polarXd(r,theta,Xc) = r(cos theta) + Xc
polarYd(r,theat,Yc) = r(sin theta) + Yc
