Polar coordinates may be used in label, arrow, and object definitions
set [m]ttics places ticmarks and labels on the perimeter of a polar plot. See
http://gnuplot.info/demo_5.4/ttics.htmlpolar axis and ticlabels demo
set rlabel (p. ) places a label above the r axis
Inverted rrange (p. ) (i.e. set rrange [90:0]) allows use of celestial horizontal
coordinates. See
http://gnuplot.info/demo_5.4/solar_path.htmlsolar path demo
set border polar (p. ) draws a solid line around the perimeter of a polar plot
set theta (p. ) controls the position of theta = 0 around the perimeter of a
polar plot and the sense (clockwise or anti-clockwise) of increasing theta
