To plot the sine curve on polar axes, we can take the following steps −
- Set the figure size and adjust the padding between and around the subplots.
- Create a new figure or activate an existing figure using figure() method
- Add an '~.axes.Axes' to the figure as part of a subplot arrangement.
- Get x and y data points using numpy.
- Plot x and y data points using plot() method.
- To display the figure, use show() method.
Example
import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.50, 3.50] plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True fig = plt.figure() ax = fig.add_subplot(projection='polar') x = np.linspace(-5, 5, 100) y = np.sin(x**2) ax.plot(x, y, color='red', lw=3) plt.show()
