Chris, The wiki page didn't solve the mystery of 'radar'
Load 'plot'
T=:2p1
d=: 13 :'(0{x)-(-/x)*(i.y)%<:y' NB. domain intervals
tf=:1 o. 3*y
plot 1 o. tf
'radar' plot tf
The lines above follow the suggestion of Henry Rich and work like a charm,
but how does 'radar' do its magic?
When I tried the suggestions in the wiki page, here's what happened.
Load 'jzplot'
c=: conew 'jzplot'
plot__c tf
plot__c 'radar' tf
|option not found: radar: signal
| signal'option not found: ',j
The polar graph of the trifolium fails.
