About this polar graph paper
Polar graph paper has rings 5 mm apart and straight lines from the centre every 15°. Instead of x and y, you place a point by how far it is from the centre and at what angle.
It is what you need for polar equations in trigonometry, and it is also handy for compass bearings, antenna patterns and circular designs like mandalas.
What it’s good for
- Polar equations in trigonometry
- Angles and compass bearings
- Antenna and microphone patterns
- Mandalas and circular designs
How to print it
Pick a size above and open the PDF. In the print dialog choose the same paper size and set the scale to 100% (Actual size), so the grid comes out at exactly circles 5 mm apart, lines every 15°.
Questions
What do the darker lines mean?
Every fifth ring and the 0°, 90°, 180° and 270° lines are darker so they are easy to find.
How far apart are the angle lines?
Every 15°.
