Dear all, I am struggeling to place an object (a red circle) using polar coordinates with respect to a chosen center called ground.
Any ideas? Here is the snipped: \documentclass[]{beamer} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[english,german]{babel} \usepackage{xcolor} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{tikz,pgfplots} \usetikzlibrary{positioning,fadings,patterns} \usepackage{tikz,pgfplots} \usetikzlibrary{positioning,fadings,patterns} \tikzfading[name=fade inside, inner color=transparent!80, outer color=transparent!30] \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.5] \draw [help lines] (0,0) grid (23,5); \coordinate(ground) at (2,2) {}; \draw [very thick] (ground) circle (1.2); \shade [ball color=white,path fading=fade inside] (ground) circle (1.5); \coordinate (ov1) at (0:1.5) {}; \shade [ball color=red] (ov1) circle (0.2); \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} I have tried to place several +s in front of the polar coordinates, but this does not show any effect. Thank you in advance.
