\title{Polar coordinates.}
\usage{
coord_polar(theta = "x", start = 0, direction = 1)
}
\arguments{
\item{theta}{variable to map angle to (\code{x} or \code{y})}
\item{start}{offset of starting point from 12 o'clock in radians}
\item{direction}{1, clockwise; -1, anticlockwise}
}
\description{
The polar coordinate system is most commonly used for pie charts, which
are a stacked bar chart in polar coordinates.
}
\examples{

# NOTE: Use these plots with caution - polar coordinates has
# major perceptual problems. The main point of these examples is
# to demonstrate how these common plots can be described in the
# grammar. Use with EXTREME caution.

# A pie chart = stacked bar chart + polar coordinates
