Detailed Description

Create and draw a polar graph with errors and polar axis in radians (PI fractions).

See the TGraphPolar documentation

Since TGraphPolar is a TGraphErrors, it is painted with TGraphPainter options.

With GetPolargram we retrieve the polar axis to format it; see the TGraphPolargram documentation

 
void gr013_polar2()
{
   TCanvas * CPol = new TCanvas("CPol","TGraphPolar Example",500,500);
 
   Double_t theta[8];
   Double_t radius[8];
   Double_t etheta[8];
   Double_t eradius[8];
 
   for (int i=0; i<8; i++) {
      theta[i]   = (i+1)*(TMath::Pi()/4.);
      radius[i]  = (i+1)*0.05;
      etheta[i]  = TMath::Pi()/8.;
      eradius[i] = 0.05;
   }
 
   TGraphPolar * grP1 = new TGraphPolar(8, theta, radius, etheta, eradius);

   grP1->SetLineColor(2);
   grP1->SetLineWidth(3);
   // Draw with polymarker and errors
   grP1->Draw("PE");
 
   // To format the polar axis, we retrieve the TGraphPolargram.
   // First update the canvas, otherwise GetPolargram returns 0
   CPol->Update();
   if (grP1->GetPolargram())
      grP1->GetPolargram()->SetToRadian(); // tell ROOT that the theta values are in radians
}
